If your calendar feels like a never-ending string of meetings that rob you of energy, focus, and momentum—you’re not alone.
But here's the truth: ineffective meeting rhythms aren't just annoying—they're operational bottlenecks that slow growth and decision-making at the highest levels.
In this episode of Level Eight with Kelli, we're taking an unflinching look at how bloated meeting schedules are quietly killing your company’s pace—and what to do about it.
You'll learn how to:
Categorize your meetings with precision (and know which ones to eliminate)
Audit your current rhythm for inefficiencies
Shift updates out of live meetings and into asynchronous tools
Create lean, outcome-focused agendas that actually move work forward
Clarify decision rights so you stop spinning in circles
Run quarterly “meeting audits” that keep your operating system sharp
We’ll walk through a hypothetical—but all-too-relatable—scenario of a CEO stuck in a daily all-hands cycle... and show you exactly how she redesigned her cadence to reclaim eight hours a week and supercharge execution.
Plus, in the Ask Kelli segment, I’m answering:
“Meetings are taking over my life, but key decisions still don’t get made. How do I fix this?”
If you’re ready to break free from calendar chaos and step fully into your CEO role with clarity and power—this one’s for you.
