Conversational threads form the fabric of a meaningful meeting. I value generative and co-creative meetings. Deeper communication takes time, trust, and preparation. ## Primer questions 1. Why did we make this meeting? 2. How will we work together to achieve a mutually desirable outcome? 3. What unique strengths do attendees bring to the meeting? ## Alternative approach Just talk and seek surprises — no matter how much we prepare for a meeting, there will be [[unknown unknowns]].
