With so many meetings for employees, it is easy to feel weary and tired. I think there is a kind of meeting fatigue. Meetings become predictable. Same process and same outcome. I wonder how much time is lost to unproductive meetings. The situation is this. You have 30 minutes to present the culture changes going on in the organizations. This might help.
1. Offer new information.
Instead of copying what has been done in the past and simply rehashing it, offer new information. Assuming you have 30 minutes, try this. Ask the next 5 employees you see and ask them for 5 minutes of their time. It can go like this. I'm in a bind and I really need your help, would you help me? Here's what I need...in the next 2 minutes think of 5 things that is new in our culture change. OK, you now have 25 observations in 2 minutes. Ask each to share which is most unique. Then ask for the story behind the change. If you want to hit a home run, invite one of your guest employees to share the story in the meeting. You've got new information, its as fresh as new vegetables.
2. Tell your secrets.
The meeting begins. The boss calls on you to share what's going on that's new. You start to share...smile. Share your story of the 5 employees 30 minutes earlier. Tell how you found the new information. Now is the time to celebrate them. It could go like this. Tom did I miss anything. Julie what was really neat to you when we talked. Be sure everyone knows who helped. Graciously thank them publicly...even closing with "I owe you guys, thank you."
3. Make it interactive.
Interactive makes the presentation fresh, and personal. The presentation becomes a dialog rather than a speech. It will help create energy in others. End with asking 5 -7 employees to answer a question. Be creative with a positive question which guides towards a good ending. Make sure you've summarized...the new information, your secret help, and have fun with interaction.
