Mini-masterclass with Powrsuit co-founders Nat and Kristen.
We asked Powrsuiters how many meetings they had in their calendars in a typical week. Answers ranged from 9 – 25. One had 23 across just three days, and someone else said ‘booked in: 6, unbooked: unlimited’. That sounds about right… We have more meetings now than we did 25 years ago. The same tools and technology that were built to make collaborating easier seem to have just removed every last bit of friction from booking more meetings.
Spend half an hour redesigning your calendar now to free up the same amount of time each week. 100% of our live attendees said they managed it, can you?
💡 There’s a difference between optimal speed and maximum speed: As Powrsuit expert, Laurent Sylvestre says, back-to-backs all day is maximum speed, which means tunnel vision, no room to think, and someone else making the choices about your time.
💡 The same meeting is a different meeting depending on why you’re in it: Collaborator, relationship builder, passenger. The passenger role is worth tackling first.
💡 Sitting in a meeting and saying nothing is presence, not visibility: Are you adding something, or just showing up?
There’s plenty more: How to decline graciously and flip from passenger to collaborator.

"I listened to this live while driving home from work. My current meeting cadence is 'as needed' and I will not be adding more meetings, for meetings sake, to the busy calendars of my team. I will send my manager to Kristen and Nat if she has any questions 😂😉"
