Nailing a Great Team Meeting

By The Constructive Collective • December 12, 2024
It’s easy to get caught up in the daily grind of tasks and lose sight of the bigger picture - business goals, team alignment, and overall strategy. That’s why regular meetings are so crucial. We have a team meeting every Monday morning, known as the "Monday Morning Meeting" (or Triple M), to reset, align, and set the tone for the week ahead. These meetings are essential for keeping everyone focused on driving the business forward, staying informed about key projects, and understanding what their colleagues are working on. In this blog post, we thought we’d share some tips around how to make your team meetings more productive! 1.Have a Plan Allocate time. We think an hour is a perfect amount of time - long enough to cover key updates and tackle any discussion points, but not so long that employees stop paying attention. Don’t waste time! Start and end on schedule. Having a set agenda helps everyone stay on track. If you're running over time, make sure to decide which discussions need to be followed up on offline so the meeting doesn't overrun. A good practice is to share the agenda in advance so that everyone is prepared and knows what to expect. 2.Have a Focus Instead of letting the conversation go in multiple directions, try focusing on one specific topic for each meeting. This could be a short training session, a session focused on a specific department, or a brainstorming session for new ideas. A clear focus helps direct the discussion and prevents meetings from becoming overly broad or unfocused. A good idea to alternate between strategy-focused meetings (e.g., business growth, planning, etc.) and tactical ones (e.g., weekly project updates, problem-solving). 3.Ensure all team members are involved A great meeting isn't a monologue - it’s a conversation! Make sure that everyone has a chance to speak, whether it's sharing updates on their work, offering feedback, or participating in brainstorming sessions. Some people may be more introverted, so it's important to make a conscious effort to draw them in. Encourage an inclusive environment where all voices are heard. This will increase engagement, help team members feel valued, and generate new ideas. We like to do this by going around the room asking everyone to take turns giving a quick update or contributing to the discussion. 4.Keep it Positive and Solution Focused Make sure that discussions stay solution-oriented. If problems do come up, ask for solutions or suggestions on how to move forward. This helps maintain momentum and fosters a culture of problem-solving rather than dwelling on what went wrong. Starting the meeting with a quick round of “wins” or positive updates can set the right tone and create an upbeat, productive atmosphere. It can help team members feel motivated and excited to start the week! 5.Set Actionable Steps Lastly, every meeting should end with a clear set of actions. These are the tasks, decisions, and assignments that will move the team forward. Make sure everyone knows what their responsibilities are for the week before leaving the meeting and share it with the rest of the team. This ensures that the conversations translate into progress rather than just talk! So, what makes a great meeting? A balance of structure, collaboration, and clear action items that drive the business forward - making the Triple M something everyone looks forward to each week!

The Power of Saying "Thank You" This Holiday Season

By The Constructive Collective • November 25, 2024
As we approach Christmas and the end of 2024, it's a perfect time to pause, reflect, and express our gratitude. Whether in our personal lives or in the workplace, it’s crucial to thank those who have made a difference throughout the year. We often get caught up in the chaos of day-to-day life and forget how much of an impact small acts of appreciation can have. In this blog, I want to talk about the power of saying “Thank you” and how a simple gesture can go a long way, especially during the holiday season! It's easy to get focused on deadlines, targets, and the next big project, but taking a moment to show appreciation for the people who help make your work possible can have a lasting impact. Here are a few ways we like to say ‘Thank you’ to our clients… 1.Christmas Cards Sending a thoughtful Christmas card can be one of the simplest yet most meaningful ways to say thank you. A personalised message that acknowledges the client’s contribution over the year can go a long way in making them feel valued. It doesn’t have to be elaborate – sometimes, just a few lines can convey a sense of appreciation that is truly powerful! 2. Gifts This time of year is the perfect time for gift giving and there are so many great gift ideas that you can consider giving your clients to say thank you. Gift hampers are a fantastic way to show your appreciation to clients, colleagues, or business partners. Personalised gifts are also a great option, such as custom pens, engraved notebooks, or monogrammed stationery. These small yet meaningful items show that you’ve taken the time to select something unique to the individual. 3. Take a Moment to Say It in Person Taking the time to thank someone in person – or even over the phone – can feel incredibly meaningful. A direct “Thank you” for their efforts, whether it's for a specific project, ongoing collaboration, or general support, adds a personal touch that is harder to convey through written communication. This is particularly important in the workplace, where people often feel their hard work is overlooked. When you make the effort to express your gratitude face-to-face or go out of your way to dial their number, it shows that you truly care. 4. Take them out for a Meal For your best clients, inviting them to a meal can be a gesture that not only expresses appreciation for their business but also strengthens the relationship. Whether it’s a casual coffee, a lunch or even a dinner, this gesture shows that you're willing to invest time and effort into the relationship, making them feel valued and special. It's also a great way to discuss any future opportunities or feedback in a more relaxed setting, turning a simple thank you into a more profound conversation about continued success together. At the end of the day, the act of saying “Thank you” is a reminder that we don’t take the efforts of others for granted. As businesses prepare to wind down and families come together, take a moment to reflect on the people who have made your year better, easier, or more enjoyable. Let them know how much their contributions have meant to you – whether that’s through a card, a gift, or simply a heartfelt message. The holiday season is the perfect time to pause and be thankful, not just for the big wins, but for the little things – the people, the moments, and the relationships that have helped make the year successful. And in the process, you might just find that saying “Thank you” has a powerful impact on your own sense of fulfilment as well! Happy Holidays!
