This week, we focus on a topic everyone can relate to: bad meetings. According to today’s guest, Jennifer Aitken, unproductive meetings can often be avoided with more forethought, clearer structure, and better preparation. 

Jennie is Director of Medical Staff Quality and Improvement for Island Health and a professional facilitator with the Sofia Group. In this interview, we explore why meetings often fall short, how anyone can strengthen their facilitation skills, the organizational value of better facilitation, and the rewards of helping groups reach those meaningful “aha” moments.
