002: From Meetings to Meaning—How to Host Team Events That Truly Connect

Jennifer Campbell and Academy of Areté Episode 2

Are Your Meetings Just Another Obligation—Or a Powerful Tool for Connection?

If you're feeling stretched thin and your team seems disconnected, you're in the right place. In chaotic times, leaders are often expected to provide certainty—but what if that’s not actually what your team needs most?

This episode dives deep into how to transform your meetings from a drain on energy into a source of connection, collaboration, and even magic ✨. Whether you’re leading a small team or a large-scale organization, you’ll discover practical strategies to make every gathering count—virtual or in person. 

You’ll learn:

  • Why helplessness can take hold in uncertain times—and what to do about it
  • How to turn top-down meetings into engaging, interactive experiences
  • The power of involvement over information—and how to shift your approach
  • Why changing the physical (or virtual) structure of a meeting makes all the difference
  • Small group strategies that ensure real conversations happen
  • The one powerful closing question that helps lock in learning and impact

The way you host meetings can either drain your team—or ignite them. Tune in now to learn how to build trust, connection, and momentum in every gathering!
