Reseñas de la Crítica

"It's relevant, useful and fun to read. What more could you ask for?" (Charles Handy)

A master story teller

I am lucky enough to have spent a few days in David's outlandishly amazing company. Listening to this audible "Will There Be Donuts" brought back many fun memories and reminded me of his simple brilliance. This is a must listen for every executive around the World. If you accept the challenge to be a "Really Meeting" revolutionary, you could transform your business and dramatically increase the happiness of your customers and your employees.

Hilarous and Effective

I had the pleasure of attending a workshop David put on with my company. I was so impressed with his comedic approach to the content that I was curious if he had written anything - and then I stumbled across this book. It's practical wisdom sprinkled with comedy that quite honestly, everyone should read. Challenging myself to think about what my intent is for a meeting has changed my thinking not only around the meetings I hold but the ones I attend. David provides practical tips on how to be more purposeful, and thusly more effective and productive, in work meetings. I'm only 3 days post-reading this book but I've applied the learnings each day and it has really made a difference. The fact that I've literally laughed out loud and some points just makes it that more of an enjoyable read.

Couldn’t get through it

Didn’t like it at all kind of dumb book wouldn’t recommend it is not worth your credit
