The Importance Of Hosting At The 8AM Meeting

Improved Essays
Tedious yet underrated, clocks are common objects located in almost all meeting rooms whether in the form of a traditional wall clock, a watch, or a device clock. Watching time pass remains a consistent burden that meeting attendees face, however, by substituting the idea of a clock with a countdown clock, attendees now have a reason to become excited when they see time ticking. A countdown clock substitutes the stigma of a monotonous time element with an intriguing fascination. In other words, a countdown clock gives the attendees something to look forward to or count down! Most people dread meetings because they have a reputation of being formal, serious, stressful, and sometimes boring. Consequently, the solution to manipulating such a stigma is by combining the meeting with an after party or social gathering, thereby combining productivity with entertainment. Hosting a meeting at a Karaoke Bar and Lounge caters to all requirements of such combination. Since lounges have comfortable seating arrangements, and karaoke bars have enclosed individual rooms, a meeting could easily be held in this location and still achieve its purpose.

Having to attend a mandatory 8AM meeting automatically makes the event seem dreadful, however simply modifying the time of a meeting can drastically improve the impact of it. Modifying an 8AM meeting on a Monday to an 8PM meeting on a Friday significantly alters the emotions associated with it by making it seem more “relaxing” and less formal. As mentioned previously, modifying the time from early to late further enhances the combination of a meeting and after-party. More specifically, altering the date and time can make members want to attend the meeting rather than force them; an impression of “ending the week with an enjoyable meeting” rather than “starting the week with a tedious

As mentioned back in January we have to implement structure and reiterate expectations before we can anticipate change.…

    Last Saturday night, I went to an open Alcoholics Anonymous meeting in Joyful Servant Lutheran Church which is called the KISS fellowship.

The meeting has about 33 people, including visitors and sponsors. Ages vary from young adult to old people, but most are at middle age.…

    A Family Partnership Meetings (FPM) are collaborative efforts in the permanency planning process between the family, foster youth (when appropriate), family's supports, foster care worker, and other professionals (Family Partnership Meetings, 2013; Kim, Pierce, Jaggers, Imburgia, & Hall, 2016). Studies about FPM as an engagement tool in the foster care system indicates that engagement is a critical component to achieving permanency for foster children (Crampton, Usher, Wildfire, Webster, & Cuccaro-Alamin, 2011; Boldis, & Tomlinson, 2014). Studies have found foster parent/child welfare professionals' engagement to have an impact on the success of FPM and permanency planning leading to better permanency outcomes for foster children (Kim, Pierce,…

    I recently visited the American Indian Student Union as my civic participation group. The aspect of communication that was most relevant in the meeting were intercultural communication. In the first meeting they wanted to explain to the students who are not familiar with the Indian culture. They explained the myths and truths to their culture. For example, they explained that wearing headdresses to a Florida State University football game to imitate the Seminole is a false interpretation of the Indian culture.…

    Virtual clocks are a great way to teach students how to tell time. They are easy to manipulate with a click of the mouse and allow access digital and analog clocks with a click of the mouse. Virtual clocks are great because they don’t take up all the storage space as many physical clock manipulatives would in the classroom. Again one of the major disadvantages is if the technology for this manipulative is malfunctioning then you can’t use it.…

    After only attending a municipality meeting once in high school for a civics paper, I was really blown away by the level of professionalism and efficiency that took place at this legislative meeting. Although it would be unfair of me to compare the small Dallas Township Municipal meeting with the Legislative session that took place at the Historic Courthouse that evening on February 21st at six o’clock. I really didn’t know what to expect for the most part, but once the meeting began I was able to use what information we had covered in class to help understand and put into words what legislation went through the County Council. To my surprise, a portion of the meeting felt like it was straight from a popular late night television special highlighting…

    I would think for some this could make attending a meeting difficult. Some people need to completely separate themselves from the drug and alcohol culture. Sitting in a room listening to people talk about their past use might trigger feelings for them to want to use again. I think that more emphasis needs to be on the recovery process and not the use. Another thing I thought about was how the twelve-step program might not work for everyone.…
