Agile Austin Leaders SIG - Clear the Way: Saving the World One Meeting at a Time

About this event

Description: Meetings are meant to create momentum. But in remote, fast-moving organizations, they often create something else: fragmentation, ambiguity, and rework. In this engaging conversation, leadership coach and author Kerri Sutey will share practical insights from her book CLEAR the Way: Saving the World One Meeting at a Time. Drawing on workplace research and real-world examples, she explores why meetings so often feel draining and what small design shifts can turn them into powerful moments of alignment. This session isn’t about adding more meetings or cutting them all. It’s about intentionally designing clarity so collaboration supports focus rather than competing with it. Outcomes: Participants will leave with: • A simple 5-part framework (CLEAR) to evaluate and improve any meeting • One practical shift they can apply immediately in their next meeting • A clearer understanding of how everyday meeting habits quietly shape culture • A lens for protecting focus time while still collaborating effectively
