You Missed A Meeting: A little story about handling change

By J Hume

The meeting is over. The change is just beginning.

Dan comes back from holiday to find that his regular meeting has disappeared, his carefully maintained report is no longer needed, and everyone seems to know something he does not.

Apparently, there was a meeting.

Now there are new systems, confusing updates and Teams calls that could probably have been emails. Dan has spent years being the person who knows what to do. He isn't enjoying becoming the person who has to ask.

But as he works out what to keep, what to question and what to try next, he begins to discover that a different way of working might offer something worth having.

You Missed a Meeting is a warm, funny and recognisable story about handling change: the uncertainty it brings, the confidence it unsettles, and the possibilities that emerge when we find a way forward.

Beyond the story, After the Meeting offers practical help to:

- Separate what has actually changed from what you fear it means.
- Ask useful questions and get the support you need.
- Take small steps while confidence catches up.
- Protect time to learn and help others adapt.
- Recognise when a change needs challenging.
- Make a manageable plan for your next week.

For anyone facing a new process, a shifting role or another announcement about "doing things differently", this little book offers humour, perspective and a useful place to start.

You don't have to feel ready for everything. Start with your next step.
