PPEOPLE TREATED WITH VALUE AND RESPECT RISE UP TO CHALLENGES

Picture yourself entering a corporate, team, or business meeting. There you are sitting in the room, while someone in the `expert' or `boss' chair speaks to you or at you.
There you are, hearing what is going wrong and what you or your team or department needs to change or improve. Are you feeling a great connection to the meeting? Most meetings do not include participant involvement and actually serve to tune people out rather than tune them in, and as a result, the intention of the meeting falls short of its purpose.
In other words, they really can be a waste of precious company time. The process of meeting alignment allows companies to use a systematic process that engages people in meetings and creates a desire for them to contribute and fully participate.

Most meetings focus on problems, fixing problems, or informing people of change. The meeting needs to come from a place of asking what is working and involve what is the right type questions. These questions form the basis of creating a positive energy flow and opening up creativity. It is the basic principle of encouraging a sense of positivity rather than negativity.
Questions in this process focus on what is working, why it works, what would be the perfect ideal vision, and what is not quite right yet, and then, coming up with resources and inspired actions to create the outcome of the meeting.

When people attend a meeting where every idea is praised and contributions rewarded and people thanked and really appreciated for their contributions, this raises self-esteem, confidence, and morale. People want to participate in meetings that make them feel good, not only about the company they work for, but about themselves and their role in it.

This process is effective in all companies and will work with all size groups. It requires a shift in the employer and leaders' thinking, from managing and bossing and telling to coaching and co-creating and sharing.
The effect is profound. People treated with value and respect rise up to challenges. They are more excited to solve problems, participate in the mission and vision of the company, and create more productivity. They feel that the company's success is their success.
It motivates them to greater achievement.

Companies following a systematic process of creating a meeting alignment process, take morale out of the toilet bowl fast. Employees are happier, their retention rates rise, and the corporate culture shifts to one of enthusiasm
