I am very excited to share that I have tried the request to shorten a few meetings this week, and it was well received! Brilliant! I chuckled at myself while reading this and thought, “Wait? What?You can ask for a shorter meeting?! That’s a thing?!” 🤯 Giving other people the ‘gift of time’ makes me happy. Thanks Loleen

Love this. One thing I've noticed in the past year is that some in charge of meetings are leaving early or joining late, but those with lower status are expected to fill the gaps by working during the meeting. The above tips help for advocacy, but the double standard is fairly obvious.
