Connect with Jon...
info_outlineEvery meeting needs an agenda
Send it in advance.
Ask for input.
No surprises—people show up prepared.
Four minutes saved per day is 24 hours a year.
Multiply that by everyone in the room and you’ll see why some companies move faster than others.
Write things down
Decisions. Questions. Answers. Learnings.
Create one place people can reference so the same questions don’t get asked repeatedly.
The key is retraining the habit—hard at first, powerful once it sticks.
Podcasts = growth on demand
Five minutes a day while driving, walking, or working out.
Real conversations that grow you personally and professionally.
