Love Your Microsoft Teams Meetings (Yes, Really)

Featured Replies

Microsoft Teams isn’t going anywhere.

For most organisations, it’s now the backbone of how work happens… meetings, updates, collaboration, decisions.

And yet, many teams still feel stuck in:

  • Back-to-back calls
  • Vague outcomes
  • Too many attendees
  • Meetings that create more work than they resolve

That’s exactly why we ran our ‘Love Your Microsoft Teams Meetings‘ Skills Booster webinar.

If you joined us live, thank you.
If you couldn’t make it or want a refresher, the recording is now available on our YouTube channel:

What this skills booster covers

In this practical session, Deane explores how to:

  • Choose the right Teams format (meeting, webinar, or no meeting at all)
  • Design meetings around decisions, not updates
  • Use Copilot strategically before and after meetings
  • Capture clear actions and next steps automatically
  • Reduce meeting fatigue without reducing collaboration

Microsoft 365 is powerful, but tools don’t fix unclear thinking.

Meeting culture is leadership culture

“If you want to understand a company’s culture, sit in on their meetings.
The habits, the clarity, the energy, it’s all right there.”

Meetings reveal everything.

How decisions are made.
Who contributes.
Whether time is respected.
Whether accountability sticks.

The Skills Booster helps individuals run better Microsoft Teams meetings.

But if the problem is bigger than one meeting, it’s cultural.

Want to go deeper?

If you’re looking for more structured development for your teams, we offer:

Mastering Microsoft Teams Meetings

A practical workshop focused specifically on using Microsoft Teams effectively from meeting formats to Copilot integration to follow-through systems. Explore the session here.

This is ideal if your organisation is heavily invested in Microsoft 365 and wants to get real return from it.

Fixing Meetings

If the issue runs deeper too many meetings, poor structure, low energy, unclear outcomes, this workshop tackles the culture of meetings itself.

It helps teams make meetings rare, purposeful and productive again. Explore our Fixing Meetings session here.

Start with better meetings.
Then build better meeting culture.

Because when meetings work, work works.
