Welcome to The EA Campus Podcast with your host, Nicky Christmas. In today’s episode, we’re diving into the different types of meetings your Executive attends and how you can manage them strategically to drive real progress.
Here’s what we cover:
- Why meetings matter more than ever—and how EAs can support their Executive’s time as their most valuable resource
- The six key meeting types you need to know:
- Decision-Making Meetings – Where critical choices happen

- Brainstorming/Creative Sessions – Sparking new ideas
- Relationship-Building Meetings – Building trust and connections
- Crisis/Problem-Solving Meetings – When urgent solutions are needed
- Governance/Board Meetings – Formal, high-level decision-making
- How to categorise meetings and tailor your prep: from agendas and pre-reads to setting the right mindset for each type
- The importance of managing transitions between meetings to avoid ‘meeting hangovers’ and keep your Executive focused
- Tips for asking the right questions when scheduling meetings—like clarifying objectives, success criteria, and your Executive’s role
- The difference you can make as an EA by setting every meeting up for success, transforming from a diary manager to a strategic partner
