Why do your meetings feel exhausting?

Why does one person dominate while someone else disengages completely?

If you’re leading meetings as a new manager and walking away frustrated, unclear, or stuck repeating the same conversations, this episode will help.

Most leaders assume disengagement is about attitude.
They assume domination is about ego.
They assume lack of follow-through is laziness.

But it’s usually none of those things.

It’s misaligned energy.

Desiree and Tessa walk through Patrick Lencioni’s Working Genius framework and explain how each genius shows up inside meetings, and how understanding it improves communication in the workplace, team accountability, and overall team management.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL LEARN:

• Why meetings feel draining and how to clarify their purpose
• How to structure meetings so the right conversations happen at the right time
• The two changes that immediately improve team accountability

If you want your team to commit, follow through, and stop dreading meetings, this framework is a practical starting point.
