![]() While you may have to do a little digging to find one in your town, many of them are free and open to the public. Nothing calms the nerves or eases tension like a leafy setting. Don’t worry if the weather’s not cooperating-indoor emporiums like Philadelphia’s Reading Terminal Market and Los Angeles’s Grand Central Market can be just as productive (and are open all week). Check out what’s on tap at the Portland Saturday Market or browse local farm goods at the SFC Farmers’ Market in Austin (plus it makes working on the weekend less painful). The colors, textures, smells and entrepreneurial spirit are excellent inspiration. If you need to do some brainstorming but the creative juices aren’t bubbling, take the team on a walk around a local food or crafts market. It could be a 15-minute chat along New York’s High Line, a 30-minute stroll past monuments to Lincoln and Washington around the National Mall in D.C., or an hour-long walk along Chicago’s Lakefront Trail. Determine how much time you’ll need to meet, then pick a local path to meander on. But rather than walking around an office building or making a call at a treadmill desk, take advantage of this time to get out and see your local surroundings. Thanks to the Fitbit revolution, more and more workers are taking their meetings by foot. If your workplace is strapped for conference space, or if you just need a break from the office, consider one of these alternative meeting spots instead. ![]() ![]() Instead, think about your next meeting as a chance to sneak in some local exploring. Or someone’s having a distractingly personal discussion nearby.įinding a good, productive meeting space can be a challenge, but no one ever said a meeting needed chairs and a computer screen. Or there’s a grinder overpowering any conversation you’re trying to have. How many times have you heard (or said), “Let’s meet at the coffee shop?”īut then you get there, and finding open seats together takes 10 minutes.
