## Resource

Do your meetings actually move work forward, or do they just take up time on your calendar? In this episode, I share three examples from my recent work that illustrate what well-designed, well-run meetings can actually accomplish. From Agile cadence meetings like weekly planning and daily standups, to larger strategy discussions and even simple client check-ins, I walk through how real-time conversations create alignment, surface better ideas, and move work forward more effectively than email. By the end, you will have a clearer understanding of when meetings are the right tool, how to structure them for better outcomes, and why they are essential for creating fast feedback loops in legal work.
