#GutenMorgen zusammen!
Wenn ihr heute auch in langen #Meetings steckt, ist hoffentlich genug #Kaffee da.
(Für heute wäre mir auch noch Piano Reeves eingefallen, aber das ist nicht so gut zu zeichnen)

Ha! The famed meeting that could have been an email. I'm lucky to have only one of those a year, but it's right now.
Also luckily, nowadays it's on Teams, so I can do something else in the meantime.
The only trick is that it's in Japanese (and the speaker speaks fast) and it's difficult to only vaguely pay attention in the unlikely event I'm mentioned (my level of Japanese only allows me to "do my best to try to understand as much as possible" or "completely tune out and it just becomes noise" nothing in between)
#meetings
"Hey, sorry I'm 40 minutes late, I'm going to ask several questions that were answered in the basic talk, asked anyway by other people and answered again, and still misunderstand the concept of 'date'."
It's probably a good thing these are all virtual across multiple companies, because my eyerolls would be making enemies...
"This should be a short webinar" did not take into account the number of people who seem confused about the concept of a 'Document Date', a required element we all have to put on the cover page and title page of the documents...
How to start online meetings on time? By sharing _two_ times: the time the meeting platform will _open_, and the time when it will _start_!

Someone to tell it to is one of the fundamental needs of human beings. That's why it's important to build conversation into all our meetings.

To belong, to hang out with people you care about, is almost always worth doing. It's also the promise of participation-rich conferences.

The magic happens when you flip the script:
Share routine updates in writing in advance
Spend live time together engaged in collaboration, risk raising, needs meeting, and blocker clearing
Update on the attainment progress of measurable goals -- not just subjective estimates of completion of activities
Get curious, and comfortable with healthy conflict, to create space for genuine learning.
This isn't theory. It's what transforms the organizations I work with.

→ Please Stop Inviting AI Notetakers to #Meetings

“A critical thing that #AI notetaking lacks […] are the non-verbal cues from the speakers," [Margaret Mitchell, chief #ethics scientist at Hugging Face] says.
“The tech-booster answer to that problem might be to get AI notetakers to incorporate visual processing as well. "But then we’re at the #surveillance issue," she says — and your harried Monday morning visage becomes another data point to count #against you.”

Possible pain in the arse, yeah
