Preparing takes five minutes. Bring one thing that slows you down in your work right now, and one small step you could try. Your patterns in the People Readiness App™ can help you find it: look at your flames from the last two weeks and ask what they have in common.
Why preparation matters
A Huddle works best when it works on real, concrete topics. "Everything is a bit much" is hard to work with. "Handovers between sales and delivery keep getting lost" is something a team can solve. Five minutes of preparation make the difference.
Five minutes before the Huddle
Open My Analytics and look at the last two weeks.
Find your flames. Which tags or activities come up again and again?
Pick one. What is the one thing that slows you down most right now?
Think of one small step. What could you, or the team, try in the next two weeks?
Write it down in your journal so you have it at hand.

What not to bring
Personal matters and complaints about individuals don't belong in the Huddle. Focus on the work and how it is organized. If something personal weighs on you, talk to someone you trust or use your company's support offer.
