Start a meeting memorably
Set the tone for your entire session with a memorable start that captures attention and signals what's to come. The first five minutes shape everything that follows—participants decide whether this will be another boring meeting or something worth their full presence. Great openers create energy, establish interactivity, and connect to the session's purpose. Don't waste your opening on logistics; lead with engagement and handle housekeeping after you've got them.

This workshop was incredibly effective for our remote team! We adapted it slightly for a virtual setting and it worked wonderfully. The key was breaking into smaller breakout rooms.
Great resource! One tip: prepare all materials the day before to avoid any last-minute rushes.
Used this for our quarterly planning session. The structured approach really helped us stay on track!
