dkash··on YC discount for conscious leadership group founder coaching program
Hey all - I was W15 (Worklife - acquired by Cisco). I've been coaching founders for the last 15 years and am now launching a group founder coaching program, starting 9/5. I'm happy to offer a 20% discount to YC founders. Reach out if I can support you in any other way as well...

- We think the tool can shape the process. We're hearing from teams that use it that meetings that used to have no agendas now have agendas consistently, meetings that used to go in circles now stay focused and end with clear next steps, etc.

- There's plenty to do to fix meetings (and doing so will help improve people's work life), so that will be our focus for the foreseeable future. Funny enough, we did change the name from MeetingHero, we felt WorkLife was more in line with our fundamental purpose and long term aspiration.

The action items show up for past meetings, so if you were just playing around and added it to a future meeting, it will show up once it's in the past. You have to click Send Meeting Summary, and it will send it out by email. If you're still having issues, pls email me dave AT worklife

It's built specifically to help you adopt meeting best practices - hooks into your calendar and prompts you to add agenda items, provides structure to encourage decision-making, enables you to assign action items, makes it easy to send out meeting summaries to invitees, helps you close the loop on action items, etc.
