Individual Coaching
Coaching is an exciting capability that is exclusive to Lighty. The AI agent analyzes how you spend your time and based on the training of our model on good meeting hygiene and time management. Lighty provides help on a regular basis into how you're spending time. It does so by sharing with you 3 pieces of feedback:
Insights into the time you spend
Recommendations about changes you may want to make to the alloted times for different activities where appropriate
Its reasoning behind the recommendations.
Let's consider the following example for Richard, CEO at Lighty, regarding his calendar for June 2024:
Meeting Insights:
Richard has a diverse range of meetings, including internal team syncs, leadership meetings, product strategy discussions, and external meetings with investors and partners. Richard spends a significant amount of time in leadership syncs and product strategy meetings, indicating a strong focus on team alignment and strategic planning. Richard also has several meetings with external stakeholders, such as investors from E14, Zelda and others, highlighting his role in business development and investor relations. The interactions with external users are often centered around product demonstrations, strategic discussions, and partnership opportunities. Internally, Richard frequently collaborates with team members like Mikey, Max, and Anthony, showing a strong emphasis on internal communication and coordination. Common meetings include daily leadership syncs, weekly huddles, and product strategy sessions.
Meeting Recommendation:
To improve meeting efficiency and work habits, Richard could consider consolidating similar meetings to reduce context switching and free up more focused work time. For example, combining some of the daily leadership syncs with extended leadership syncs could streamline communication. Additionally, setting clear agendas and objectives for each meeting, especially with external stakeholders, can ensure that meetings are productive and goal-oriented. Implementing a follow-up system to track action items and decisions from meetings can also enhance accountability and progress tracking.
Reasoning:
The analysis shows that Richard is heavily involved in both internal team coordination and external business development. By consolidating similar meetings and setting clear agendas, Richard can reduce the time spent in meetings and increase the effectiveness of each session. This approach will help maintain a balance between strategic planning, team alignment, and external relationship management, ultimately leading to better productivity and outcomes.
Team Coaching
Our coaching capability extends to teams since knowledge workers need to optimize across their capacity as a whole. Similar to individusal coaching, Lighty helps with team coaching by sharing with you 3 pieces of feedback:
Insights into the time the team spends on different activities
Recommendations about changes you may want to make to the alloted times for different activities where appropriate
Its reasoning behind the recommendations.
Let's consider the following example for Lighty's executive team, Anthony, Mikey and Richard:
Insights:
Richard, Mikey and Anthony have a diverse range of meetings that include internal team syncs, external collaborations, and personal activities. Anthony has a highly structured schedule with a mix of work-related meetings, personal habits like exercise and decompression, and travel. Richard's meetings often involve external stakeholders and strategic discussions, while Mikey balances between internal team syncs and external business development activities. Thet frequently interact with each other in leadership syncs and engineering discussions, indicating strong internal collaboration. Meetings with external participants, such as those with investors, partners, and conferences, are common and crucial for business development and networking.Recommendation:
1. Optimize Meeting Times: Consider consolidating similar meetings to reduce context switching. For example, back-to-back leadership syncs and engineering discussions can be merged into longer, more comprehensive sessions.
2. Prioritize External Meetings: Given the importance of external collaborations, ensure these meetings are scheduled during peak productivity hours.
3. Delegate Routine Tasks: Delegate routine tasks and internal syncs to other team members to free up time for strategic planning and external engagements.
4. Utilize Asynchronous Communication: For updates and status checks, use asynchronous communication tools to reduce the number of synchronous meetings.
5. Block Focus Time: Ensure each user has dedicated focus time blocked on their calendar to work on high-priority tasks without interruptions.Reasoning:
Richard, Mikey and Anthony have a high volume of meetings, which can lead to context switching and reduced productivity. By optimizing meeting times and prioritizing external engagements, they can ensure that their time is used more effectively. Delegating routine tasks and using asynchronous communication can further reduce the meeting load. Blocking focus time will help users work on important tasks without interruptions, leading to better outcomes.
