Did your meeting pass the 'motion activation' test today?

Have you been in a workplace in a green, energy conscious building, and noticed how lighting switches on and off based on movement in a room?

For some buildings it's the bathrooms or kitchen areas that have this feature. 

For brave workplaces, it's in meeting rooms too. 

Next meeting, check whether you pass the motion activation test. 

If the lights switch off - you're too still..., dead still ! Dull meeting. Disengaged participants. Poor outcomes. 

And note... passing the motion activation test doesn't mean waving madly at the sensors so that the lights switch back on!

It means you're having a stand-up, sit-down, stand-up, move around, collaborate and really 'work' meeting. 

A meeting that's active, engaging, physical, creative and collaborative. 

If the lights switch off, you MUST switch things up, fire up the content, style and agenda.

You have to make that meeting and conversation environment one that people want to be in.

And more importantly, an environment and a piece of work that they want to contribute to. 

Move.
