    As a leader of busy teams its important to me to continue finding ways to - photo 1

    As a leader of busy teams, its important to me to continue finding ways to balance productivity at work with whats important to all of us outside the office life! Barack Obama, Elon Musk and Bill Gates are amongst those that have offered practical tips on how to make meetings more productive, but its trusted team facilitator and workplace performance guru, Donna McGeorge who really brings it altogether in this great read on how to practically reduce the many, many, many, ( many) unproductive hours we spend in meetings for meetings sake. I thought Id hit a personal best getting some of my meetings to 45 minutes but clearly theres room to improve!

    Cath Stone, Director Donor Services, Red Cross Blood Service

    Immediately useful. At least three changes I can make this week to get more out of the meetings I need to be at, and get out of those I dont.

    Anne-Marie Johnson, ACA, GAICD, Director Professional Services

    For a large number of modern day executives meetings are a necessary evil whether global, regional or local, conducted face to face or virtually across multiple time zones, meetings are a way of life. Unfortunately, many meetings dont achieve the intended purpose of communication, alignment or execution while wasting valuable time and energy! I applaud The 25 Minute Meeting which tackles not just the why of meetings but also the how of saving 35 minutes per traditional 60-minute meeting!

    Daryl Mahon, Vice President Human Resources - Ford Australia & New Zealand, Ford Motor Company

    Meetings are a highly luxurious, even decedent way to get work done. When we get a bunch of people together for a chunk of time, we ought to ensure that we maximise this time. But unfortunately, we often dont. We too often get too many people together for too long with no clear focus or process to achieve the outcomes. In The 25 Minute Meeting, Donna McGeorge shows you how to half the length of your meetings, and double their impact. Full of practical strategies that work, this little book packs a big punch. Give this to everyone you meet with and change the meeting culture around you today.

    Dermot Crowley, thought leader and best-selling author of Smart Teams and Smart Work

    It is rare that you can read a book, immediately apply practical advice tips and tools and change the way you work. If meetings continue to be a drain on your time, give this book a try a great read.

    Gayle Antony, General Manager, Global Learning and Development, Nissan Motor Company

    The 25 Minute Meeting is the game changer for organisations and leaders to get laser focused on what matters. The default one-hour meetings mean people arent thinking consciously about what the purpose of the meeting is or what the ideal outcome needs to be. In a world of trying to do more with less, The 25 Minute Meeting is the disruptor to create a productive and high performing team.

    Jane Anderson, Australias most awarded personal branding expert, author of 5 books, certified speaker, mentor to industry leaders

    If you roll your eyes at yet another meeting invite in your calendar. If you leave meetings wondering what the purpose was or questioning what was actually decided. If you would love to have more time in your calendar every week, then Donna McGeorge has the answer. This book is a life changer. Turn painful meetings into purposeful ones with this gem of a book thats jam packed with tips, tools and exercises to make meetings more fun and all about adding value versus becoming a value drain. And even better its a good, quick read that is instantly actionable. An absolute must read.
