🙋‍♀️ Discussion of the month: How to run the best all-hands meetings?

Hey everyone! Can’t believe it’s been almost a month since our Inclusive Meetings discussion! Thank you so much everyone that participated! If you still have some great experiences or tips to share, here’s the thread - we’d love to hear from you 🤗  This month’s topic is all about All-Hands Meetings 🙋‍♀️  I think we’ve all experienced our fair share of dull and unengaging All-Hands meetings, especially after switching to hybrid or virtual setup. At Slido, we consider All-Hands the most important meeting of the month, where teams get together, share their updates, celebrate wins, learn from their fails and get all of their tough questions answered.  👉 Here’s a list of  8 fresh ideas we put together for you to try at your upcoming All-Hands or even Town Hall meeting. I particularly like number 4: Turn your business numbers into a quiz, it’s much more engaging and fun than listen to long monologues describing charts 🤷‍♀️Plus, makes it so much easier to actually remember the content!  B

Any tips on different polls for allhands?
