Is there room for calm in your meetings?

Mora’s advice is to slow down, pause after someone finishes speaking, take a breath before coming off mute, and slow your speech. 

I think those are great ideas that I plan to spend a little more time on and bring to the meetings I host in order to bring calm to the whole team. But then I started thinking about the many meetings I take part in each week, and how few of them feel anything like that. They ooze anxiety, tension, and focus on “getting through” the agenda at lightning speed before the next meeting comes at us with even more of the same. 

They make us feel more distracted and uneasy, not less.
