MP3•Episode home

Consultant and collaboration expert Evan Unger joins Brian to share practical tactics for leading more engaging, effective meetings that actually get results (and don’t drain everyone’s will to live).

Overview

In this episode of the Agile Mentors Podcast, Brian Milner welcomes longtime consultant and facilitation expert Evan Unger to dig into one of the most persistent workplace headaches: remote meetings.

With decades of experience helping leaders shift from “presenting at” to true collaboration, Evan shares how a simple POPRA framework can change the game, why simultaneous chat might be your new secret weapon, and what leaders get wrong when they step into the (virtual) room. From deprogramming the HIPPO effect to humanizing remote collaboration, this conversation is packed with real talk, useful tools, and just enough snark to make you want to fire up your next Zoom meeting with purpose.
