The Problem with Meetings
Brainstorm Activity
Have you ever heard a grumble or a sigh when talking to someone
about coming to a meeting? Many people don’t like meetings and don’t
think they get much out of them. What problems have you seen or
complaints do you have about meetings?
Take 5 minutes and brainstorm with your partner, 5 things about meetings
that really bother you and write your answers on the blanks.

After your brainstorming session, come together as a large group to discuss
the items you came up with and discuss some things that might be done to
alleviate some of the frustration found in meetings.
