Nodal Leadership by Primer

5. Tea Time

Primer

What if each meeting we held was approached as “one time, one meeting”? Inspired by Priya Parker’s The Art of Gathering, this week’s episode of Nodal Leadership explores the power of creating meaningful, irreplaceable encounters—even in something as routine as meetings.

In this episode, Amy discusses the art of balance: how we can bring both unique focus and familiar rhythms to our gatherings, drawing insights from Japanese tea ceremonies to India’s everyday chai culture. This week, we’re introducing a “Tea Time” tool designed to help leaders reflect on their team’s meeting rhythms, enhancing both their impact and intention.

Curious about how these insights can transform your work gatherings? Tune in and check out our Substack for a downloadable guide to refine your organization’s meeting flow.
