Meetings! Does your heart sink at the thought? When did you last attend a great one? Or are they wasted hours you'll never get back? Has meeting online only made things worse?

In a busy and complex world, every conversation needs to count. We need constructive discussion, debate and decision-making processes, but technical expertise alone won't help you manage a roomful of people who disagree.

If you are a meeting leader how you show up sets the bar for your meeting's success. Lead Conversations that Count offers a new approach to transform your meetings into productive and powerful events that people look forward to attending.

Within these pages you'll learn the five COUNT building blocks that will prepare you to lead discussions, from online team meetings and daily standups to strategic retreats. Rich with tips, this book delivers a roadmap of practical tools to prepare for your next meeting in as little as ten minutes.

If you are ready to ditch boring meetings and create meaningful, impactful dialogue with your team, then Lead Conversations that Count is for you.


Industry Reviews

"I don't think we can ever have enough books about how to run better meetings and this one is a stand out. Carolyn has managed to support practical application with sound research to provide a field guide for managers on how to run effective meetings with tools, tips and techniques that work. I expect anyone that gets this book will have a dog-eared, tagged and well highlighted copy in no time. This is not a book to read and put to one side. It's a book that should be open on the desk and referred to daily!"

Donna McGeorge, Best-selling author of The 25 Minute Meeting and The First 2 Hours


"Want to deplete morale, destroy creativity and frustrate your team? It's easy! Just run meetings that everybody would rather avoid. Learning to run powerful, engaging and deeply focused meetings is a total game changer. Your team will love you and so will your business outcomes. Lead Conversations That Count is a blueprint from a master at running successful meetings. Read but more importantly apply these principles to your next meeting and see the difference it makes with your team and results."

Shawn Shepheard, Executive Coach & Keynote Speaker, ShawnShepheard.com

 

"Lead Conversations that Count is such a clever and needed book. The assumptions that we are naturally capable to run meetings well can be detrimental. Carolyn Ellis clearly demonstrates how you can lift your game through the use of helpful models, useful examples and wonderful stories to help build your capability to ensure meetings you run and conversations you lead actually matter and have impact. But the best tool for me is her COUNT Roadmap - use this if you really want to have impactful conversations that COUNT!"
