What makes a meeting truly memorable? As I was writing Memorable Meetings that Matter, I kept returning to this question. The answer, I’ve found, lies in the interplay of four core elements: Purpose, Place, People, and Process. Each one shapes the experience and determines whether a meeting is just another calendar event — or a gathering that sparks lasting change. Here’s one example: Think about Place. The environment in which a meeting happens can either stifle creativity or inspire breakthroughs. It’s not just about location—it’s about how the space feels, what it invites, and how it connects to the purpose of the gathering. In the book, I share practical stories and tools to show how Place (and the other three elements) can be harnessed to transform meetings into something extraordinary. What’s the most inspiring setting you’ve ever experienced for a meeting, and how did it shape the conversation? I’d love to hear your thoughts.

TechnoGals book recommendation! "Deep Work" by Cal Newport In the tech world, where the pace is relentless and the distractions are numerous, mastering the art of concentration can give you a distinct advantage. I read this book a few years ago and implemented some of his methods, but fell off the band wagon. Last month I recently reintegrated some of Newport's strategies into my daily routine, and the boost in my productivity and focus has been extremely noticeable. What are some of your productivity hacks? Sharing is caring 👐 ! Deep Work - https://a.co/d/5i4s2I9 FYI - this is his newest book and is up next on my reading list - Slow Productivity - https://a.co/d/cat7Hp0 #DeepWork #Productivity #TechLifestyle #WomenInTech #CalNewport

Newport's main argument in the book is that the ability to perform deep work is becoming increasingly rare at exactly the same time it is becoming increasingly valuable in our economy. As a consequence, the few who cultivate this skill, and then make it the core of their working life, will thrive.

**FLASHBACK FRIDAY** 📸 A picture might be worth a thousand words, but our one word to sum up this first flashback photo is... CHANGE ♺ Once upon a time (1989 to be more exact) in a coach house in Limburg, Erik Veldhoen founded a consultancy with the goal of helping organisations "ensure their office spaces can quickly adapt to an ever-changing organisation". This is where our story all began. Celebrate 35 years of building the future of work with us! 🥳 We've gone digging though our photo archives to find some gems that tell the story of who V+C are and why we do what we do. Join us over the course of our anniversary year as we reflect on how much has changed about the world of work, what hasn't changed that much, and where our rich experience allows us to see history repeat itself in some surprising ways. #change #OneWordImpact #FutureofWork #VC35Years #WorkplaceInnovation #ActivityBasedWorking #WorldofWork #changemanagement
