Steven Rogelberg’s Speech Topics

Charting a New Future of Work From a Meetings and Collaboration Perspective

This session focuses on transforming meeting culture by empowering leaders to run their meetings in the most effective and inclusive way possible. Maximizing productivity depends not only on how leaders manage meetings but also on the fact that their practices often become the norm throughout the organization. It is essential that the behaviors that informally cascade down are optimal. The session will discuss and illustrate how to leverage the science of meetings, apply evidence-based approaches, and prevent meeting overload.

Every organization has both an implicit and explicit meeting ecosystem that drives meeting loads and practices. To achieve meeting excellence, leaders must evaluate and modify this ecosystem. In this session, participants will learn how to implement new standards and approaches that optimize meeting quality while reducing unnecessary meetings, shrinking meeting sizes, and freeing up valuable time for their teams.

The Art and Science of 1:1 Meetings: The One Meeting That Should Never Be an Email

1:1s could be one of the most crucial meeting types for the success of team members, managers, teams, and organizations. Yet, the research suggests that most managers are doing them wrong; despite thinking they are doing them correctly. The best managers recognize that 1:1s are not an add-on to their role as a manager—conducting 1:1s proficiently IS foundational to being a manager.

Meet With Success: Evidence-Based Ways to Create Effective, Engaging, and Inclusive Meetings

While we often think about meetings as being places of drain, meetings done well can actually be places of personal and team gain. The key is leveraging evidence-based practices to make meetings genuinely engaging and inclusive. You will learn what we know about virtual, hybrid, and face-to-face meetings from an evidence-based perspective and gain knowledge and resources on how to effectively lead meetings to promote engagement and inclusion. The goal is better meetings and people leaving your meetings energized and feeling valued, rather than frustrated and suffering from meeting recovery syndrome. This keynote can be connected to and framed as addressing any of the following macro themes: leader and team success, creativity and innovation through meetings, fostering a culture of engagement and inclusion, and enhanced productivity through less wasted time.
