Surviving the Horror of Online Meetings
Written by Brian Tarallo

A fun read this week has been Surviving the Horror of Online Meetings, which brings a great deal of fun to a very pertinent topic in a pretty short page count (70 pages). As a fan of classic monster movies I can’t recommend the art enough.
Tons of good survival tips. Some of my favorite were:
- Plan five minute sprints – for every 5 minutes of slide presentations or briefings include something that will engage participants – for example a poll or a breakout session.
- “I Like, I wish, what if” – participants type feedback into chat about idea share
- Hide self-view – I instantly did this and it makes such a difference
And then each of the silver bullets was worth the price of admission.
We are all fatigued from constant online meetings, and they are not going anywhere. This book is a fun bit of medicine and I definitely recommend giving it a read.
