Morning Show Meetings

A lot of people ask me what do we do after the show.

Well, right after the show we go into a "Post Show Meeting".

We discuss what went right and wrong on that day and then start discussing what needs to happen for tomorrow's show.

For the longest time the meetings were miserable, long and totally frustrating.

That all changed about 8 months ago.

We finally convinced management that they didn't need to attend this meeting.

We also started serving fruit juice to help us concentrate and focus.

Ever since the meetings have been a lot more fun and lively.

I've attached a few photos of our post show meeting.

You can see we are really getting more done and still having fun.

This first picture shows Robin showing Larry how happy she is about his idea of interviewing Alan Greenspan on worries over inflation.

Here is a picture of me, Larry and Robin after we decided we should probably have a guest on the show to talk about the Governor's Budget plan.

The only reason I show this is in an effort to help others.

I hope this will prompt other office workers who are bogged down with long, boring meetings to begin to think outside of the box.

There are two key things to making this successful new business approach work for you.

1. Find a way to get management out of the way...

2. Find the right kind of fruit juice...

Hope this helps.

Courage,
Konrad

Thats awesome Paul,

Business meetings don't always have to be so boring, it's bad enough that work is a bit boring in itself, but I'm glad that your finding new and exciting ways to keep things fresh...as for finding the right kind of fruit juice, I would personally go for tropical fruit...thats always good!!

I'm not sure where this blog will be posted but I just wanted to ask if you could put the video of the bird singing the bears theme song so my brother in England, who goes to this site, can see it. Being a huge Bears fan he would really get a kick out of it.

The right kind of fruit juice will do it any time and kicking management out is great. Beware, they might have security cameras. I did note red eyes on some of you--maybe that's just a camera light!! Sure.

Larry looks like he's about 16 in these pictures.

Konrad - you're ridiculous.
