The best speaking strategies for meetings

What can you do when a meeting drags on endlessly? How can you prevent unproductive meetings in advance? What strategies can help when a meeting’s tone turns sour?

Jan-Lukas Schmitt from WirtschaftsWoche Online interviewed me extensively as an expert last week. We discussed speaking strategies for meetings and what moderators should consider when preparing a meeting. We also talked about how to involve all participants deliberately in the discussion and which debating strategy helps when everything stalls and nobody speaks up.

I would already like to wish you happy reading…

P.S. The article is two pages long 😉

My tip: read my articles in the blog series “5 Strategies Against Dark Rhetoric”. I particularly recommend these two:
