#609 How to Learn More in Meetings

Hi, I'm Sarah. And I'm Helen. And this is the Squiggly Careers podcast. where every week we borrow some brilliance from a person, some research, an object from time to time. And we turn that curiosity into useful action for you and your career. And we like to think that the learning goes beyond just listening because we create one page pod sheets which summarise the ideas and some of the links for you to go and learn more.

We put it all into one page and you can get access on that by going to squiggly.me. It's probably the easiest place to go to sign up for our newsletter and all the support that we create that goes around the podcast. So this week we are boring brilliance. From some research, but also some broccoli. Um, and really it was the broccoli that drew me into this research. Um You shouldn't judge a book or some research by its title, but here I definitely did. I was like some research by its broccoli. By its broccoli, yeah. And so what's interesting here is some researchers had looked at nine thousand workers, so quite a substantial bit of research. Around meetings.

And the kind of the insight, the kind of the hook that everybody was talking about. Where' Meetings are like broccoli, the researchers suggest. Widely disliked. But probably good for us anyway.
