Show Notes

Meetings can be a real problem when they’re not run well or have the wrong people in them. Julia Bernstein, COO at Brightside Health joins Annie Riley to break down how she audits, redesigns, and even “dress rehearses” meetings to make them actually useful. From cutting unnecessary attendees to auditing recurring meetings regularly, Julia shares her no-BS approach to protecting time and driving results.
