I have been reading through a copy of Nancy Settle-Murphy’s 77 Tips for Planning and Leading Exceptional Virtual Meetings PDF this afternoon. It’s has 77 tips (not surprisingly) in a 20-page PDF, all focused on how to make virtual meetings work well – or exceptionally well.

“Whether you’re a leader of virtual meetings, or a participant who knows there must be a better way to run remote meetings, this tips booklet is for you.

Guided Insights principal Nancy Settle-Murphy has created this easy-to-read 20-page booklet to help remote meeting planners, virtual team leaders and remote team participants zero in on areas where they most need help. Our 77 Tips for Planning and Leading Exceptional Virtual Meetings booklet is chock full of tips and techniques assembled from years’ worth of real-world experience, articles and discussion groups.“

I’m sure you have attended virtual meetings that were a waste of time. Taking some time to familiarize yourself and your team with Nancy’s tips will go a long way to making your virtual meetings more effective.

I really liked Tip 77:

“Keep a journal of what went well and what you would do differently, and complete it by the end of each call while your memory it still fresh. You won’t want to overhaul your meeting structure frequently, but you will want to keep track of the modifications you wish to make over time.“
