This is a follow-up blog post for those who attended 804 session @ ACUHO-I on Tuesday afternoon. If you weren't present at the presentation then this post may be too basic to be helpful. If there is an interest, then Glen and I can do a follow-up post.

Thoughts about meetings from the crowd:
- more meetings there further you move up
- too long
- hard to keep everyone's attention
- unskilled facilitators
- attendance issues
- can accomplish the same tasks via e-mail
- too busy for meetings!
- difference in meeting culture


2 Major Problems with Meetings from Lencioni:
- Boring
- Ineffective


Lencioni feels meetings lack:
- Drama
- Structure

How meetings are similar to movies from the crowd:
- plot (beginning, middle, end)
- they cost a lot
- leading and supporting characters
- Importance of the first 5 mins
- as it nears the end you know if you can predict a sequel
- roughly 2 hours in length

Types of Meetings (4 from Lencioni, 2 from us)
1. 1on1
2. Daily Check-in
3. Weekly Tactical
4. Monthly Strategic
5. Quarterly Off-Site Review
6. Team Development

Hey all,

I've been working at Ryerson University for 3 years. Today was Day 1 in my new job here. I am now officially the Manager of Student Housing Services. It was a good day. I met with everyone on the team and we had a staff meeting. All went very smoothly and the team got me a cake and card for my birthday (thank you!).

The below photo is me setting up my new office. I'll be sure to post photos when everything is moved over. I got a new camera for my birthday so I'm taking far more photos than usual.



My old position of Residence Life Coordinator ... just renamed Residence Life and Education Coordinator is currently posted internally here.

Talk soon!
