Meetings are broken. It's time to fix the experience.
A bold new movement is reshaping how we gather, collaborate, and decide.
The Reality We're All Living
How many hours have you lost to meetings this week?
Meetings are meant to drive clarity, alignment, and action. But too often, they're the opposite: vague, frustrating, bloated time-sucks that leave participants drained and disillusioned.
It's not just inefficient.
- A crisis of culture, productivity, and respect.
- Decisions downstream pay the price.
- Momentum and trust erode meeting by meeting.
- Team morale suffers when meetings underperform.
The hidden cost
- Attention splinters. Follow-through fades.
- People stop speaking up — or stop showing up.
- Leaders normalize drift, instead of designing clarity.
A New Standard Has Arrived
Welcome to MX — Meeting Experience
MX = Meeting Experience. Just as UX (User Experience) transformed digital design, MX transforms how we craft and lead meetings. It's a mindset, a methodology, and a manifesto rooted in human-centered design and outcome-based intention.
We believe
- People deserve better meetings.
- Leaders can transform team culture through facilitation.
- Organizations must treat meetings as a key arena for performance, inclusion, and innovation.
Provocative by design
MX doesn't ask you to "run tighter meetings." It challenges you to treat every gathering as a high-stakes experience — because it is. The question isn't "Did we meet?" It's:"Did we move?"
What We Stand For

These principles elevate your meetings from mundane to meaningful. From "Energize with Purpose" to "Support Beyond the Room," these principles guide facilitators, leaders, and participants alike in creating meetings that matter.
