How to Make Your Collaboration for Remote, Hybrid, and In-Person Teams Smooth as Butter With Jakob Knutzen

This meeting could have been an email? How about this meeting could have been Butter? Engagement and collaboration are key to your success as a team but when we’re working remotely and CONSTANTLY looking at talking heads on a screen, the fatigue sets in, and the joy gets zapped. Jakob and his team saw the need for a better tool for meetings and webinars. They bring joy and silliness into their work, and you can see it from the name to the user experience. We, of course, dove into the data behind playfulness at work, and we talked a lot about how to make the meeting more efficient as well as fun. We both touched on our experiences as consultants and the importance of follow-through. Jakob shared his incredible start-up story and how as he grew, he put his energy and focus into people who believed in the fun rather than focusing on those who didn’t. The tools you use help your team show up prepared, stay engaged throughout the meeting, and leave with a clear plan of action items.   Here’s what we talked about: 05:10 Why butter? 09:35 The stages of collaboration 11:37 Achieving joy and engagement in a meeting 17:30 How butter helps to prepare for meetings
