Aristocracy and Left in Greek!-Greek Story #2


Think of a meeting and you might immediately imagine a large table with lots of chairs and people wearing suits.

Or perhaps you imagine a computer screen filled with your colleagues' faces.

But have you ever thought about having a meeting while going for a walk? Many of us already take calls while we're walking, but it's said that walking meetings are becoming more popular too.

Those who like them say it's good to get out of the formal office environment.

Robert Mitson from meeting management company Sherpany says talking to someone when you're walking side-by-side can create a more relaxed atmosphere.

In a small walking group, colleagues can also move from person to person more easily to have one-on-one chats — something that may not be so easy to do in an office or online.

Research has also found that walking can make you more creative, with experts saying that getting moving is a good way to think of new ideas.

And of course, walking is good for our bodies. So a walking meeting lets us get some exercise at the same time as working.

However, walking meetings may not be right for everyone — for example, people who find it difficult to walk, or if someone in the group needs to use a computer.

Others say they find it difficult to focus when they're out for a walk.

And if companies are going to try walking meetings, experts say it's a good idea to choose a quiet place with plenty of space.
