be better at what you do.
Meetings are fun, energizing yet casual and comfortable. If you’re running late or have to leave early, don’t worry, there’s always room for you!
All you have to do is attend a meeting. Talk or listen, whatever you’re comfortable with. Can’t make it on time? Have to leave early? That’s ok. Join us at your convenience anytime during the meeting.
Process.
Each meeting opens with a quick introduction that includes a brief review of the previous meeting and a welcome to new people. This transitions into the Idea Share where I present a topic of interest and get real life examples and feedback from you. Each meeting features a speaker who will discuss cutting edge ideas, events or initiatives that are relevant to the group. All of this happens in concert with enjoying food and drinks!
Preparation.
It can be helpful, though it’s not required, to come prepared with something you may want to discuss. The goal is to be able to talk about things that are relevant to the group and nothing is more relevant than something you may be working on that you want to share and receive feedback. Although we have an agenda we follow, it’s flexible, so please feel free to speak up so we can help. This is a great opportunity to take advantage of the diverse perspectives, backgrounds and talents of the professionals within that make up Spreenkler.
Some examples of topics that have been shared:
‣How to generate better results at work.
‣Marketing, technology and other business trends and their impact.
‣New business and product concepts.
‣Approaches to creativity, innovation and ideation.
‣Tapping into the expertise of members of Spreenkler.
Sharing.
Whether it’s about your company, business concept or people you know, please share information that could be discussed outside of the group. If you’d like to discuss something in confidence, arrangements can be made with attendees so they can respect and adhere to confidentiality requirements.
