Victoria Repa, CEO & Founder of BetterMe, Health Coach, Harvard Guest Speaker, Forbes 30 Under 30, recently shared this meme on LinkedIn.
Interesting, but what is often overlooked is first assessing the need for a meeting. The traditional mindset typically defaults to “calling a meeting” without serious contemplation of the objective need for a meeting.

Could it be an email?
Could a project management tool or platform be utilized?

20 minutes of silence to read, understand, ponder, assess, conceptualize, theorize…does that really put each individual in an optimal situation to perform at a high level? Might it also cause stress, anxiety, judgment, and fear?
Things to consider while eating that slice of pizza.
