Hello Reader,
YOU may have felt this in a meeting recently.
Ever walk out of it and think…
“we talked a lot… but did anything actually move?”
It’s a strange feeling.
Because on the surface, the meeting may have worked.
Updates were shared.
People contributed.
Time was used.
But nothing actually shifted.
I’ve been noticing this more clearly lately.
Not just in one team or one setting—
but across very different leaders and organizations.
Different conversations.
Same underlying experience.
Many meetings aren’t broken.
They are simply meant to share information.
And over time, that creates a subtle pattern.
Conversations stay on the surface.
Work slows.
Ownership doesn’t quite take hold.
Not all at once.
Just gradually.
I put together a short set of reflections on this—
what might actually be happening inside your meetings.
If you’re noticing something similar,
I think you’ll see it clearly.
With gratitude and hope,
Kevin

P.S. Sometimes it's easier to notice this in hindsight -- looking back at your last meeting. What, if anything, actually moved.
