🍿 Pro Tips

Run meetings like a movie trailer

Fast, punchy, no filler. Steal these unapologetically practical tips to turn status chaos into crisp decisions.

Open with outcomes

State the decision you want by the end. If there isn’t one, this might be a message, not a meeting.

Enforce the two-minute rule

Updates over two minutes go async. Time is a snack, not a seven-course meal.

Kill the recap loop

If it’s already written, don’t repeat it. Link it. Then decide what’s next.

Decide owners in the room

Every action leaves with a single owner and a when. “We” is not a responsible adult.

Invite like a bouncer

If someone can’t influence the outcome, send the notes. Your calendar will thank you.

Ship decisions, not decks

Summarize in three bullets, assign, and move. Momentum is a feature.
