6. Stacking Functions

How do you make meetings meaningful?

In this week’s episode of Nodal Leadership, Amy explores a game-changing approach to purposeful gatherings, inspired by The Art of Gathering and the principles of permaculture. Imagine designing your meetings to stack functions—like creating connection, skill-building, and meaningful progress—all in one coherent flow.

Amy shares insights from her experience leading professional development sessions during COVID, where the challenge was not just to connect but to re-energize a remote team. Discover how stacking functions can turn a Zoom room into a place for genuine collaboration and growth.

Check out our Substack for the full story, complete with a Stacking Functions exercise and a free mind-mapping tool to help you rethink the rhythm and purpose of your team meetings.
