Make Meetings Matter (Americas / Europe)
⚠️ Because of a large scale internet outage I had to postpone this session to March 25
Because ‘This Meeting Could Have Been an Email’ Should Never Be Said About Yours.
🚨 Every month, organizations lose 31 hours to unproductive meetings.
Most of them are boring, unfocused, and disengaging—where participants zone out, multitask, or sit in awkward silence. The cost? Wasted time, lost ideas, and frustrated teams.
But great meetings? They bring teams together, drive decisions forward, and make work better.
If your meetings lack energy, participation, or engagement, this 90-minute interactive workshop will show you exactly how to turn passive attendees into active participants.
📉 The Cost of Low Engagement in Meetings
Imagine this: You log into yet another meeting. Someone is droning on, cameras are off, half the team is checking emails, and you’re wondering, "Couldn’t this have just been an email?"
By the end, nothing has been decided, and your energy is drained.
Now multiply that by 31 wasted hours every month, or more...
When meetings lack engagement, they don’t just waste time—they also lead to:
❌ Lost productivity – Conversations go in circles, and no one takes action.
❌ Disengagement – People mentally check out (or literally mute themselves and do other work).
❌ Frustration & burnout – When meetings feel pointless, morale suffers.
❌ Decisions don’t get made – Without structure, the same issues get rehashed over and over.
It doesn’t have to be this way. With just a few small changes, you can transform your meetings from energy-draining to energizing.
In this 90-minute workshop, you’ll learn three simple yet powerful engagement strategies that will make your meetings more interactive, inclusive, and effective—whether in-person, hybrid, or virtual.
What You’ll Learn in This 90-Minute Workshop
In this highly interactive session, you’ll discover:
✅ The “Spark Activity” Method – Get engagement from the first minute so people aren’t zoning out before the meeting even starts.
✅ The Engagement Spiral – A step-by-step approach to gradually pull people in, making participation feel effortless.
✅ Micro-Engagements That Work – Easy, low-pressure ways to keep people interacting without putting them on the spot.
This isn’t just another passive webinar where I talk at you for 90 minutes. You’ll experience these strategies in action and leave with tools you can immediately apply in your next meeting.
Who Should Attend?
💡 Leaders, facilitators, managers, team leads, and anyone who runs meetings - whether virtual, hybrid, or in-person. If you want to run meetings that people actually want to be in, this is for you.
🚀 Bonus: At the end of the session, you’ll get a sneak peek at my upcoming facilitation cohort, designed to help you level up your skills in high-stakes facilitation moments.
🎤 About Your Facilitator – Jan Keck
I help leaders, facilitators, and teams create brave spaces where real conversations happen.
For over a decade, I’ve worked with organizations to turn crickets into conversations, low engagement into deep connection, and small talk into meaningful dialogue. My expertise is in facilitative leadership—helping you not just run meetings, but create experiences where people feel included, heard, and empowered to contribute.
I’ve designed and led hundreds of workshops, trained leaders across industries, and built frameworks that help facilitators handle resistance, disengagement, and high-stakes moments with confidence.
F.A.Q.
What will it be like?
Be ready to participate! This workshop is a highly participatory session. We will be using live polling, breakout rooms, and reflection questions to get everyone engaged and participating.
No late arrivals. The workshop will start on time, and we will close the door after 10 minutes to ensure a cohesive learning experience for the group.
Can’t Make It Live? We’ve Got You Covered!
This workshop is free to attend live because you’ll get the most value by being there in real-time. Live participants can ask questions, interact, and practice facilitation techniques, which makes the learning stick.
If you can’t make it, you’ll still have the option to purchase the replay for €47. The recording will focus on the main room only—breakout conversations will not be recorded to respect participant privacy.
