How can you set effective meeting agendas?
time management is key, I think. It shows respect for all those attending, and allows people to budget their time. That means thinking carefully about how much time an item should take. It may also be useful to have papers tabled on the agenda 'for noting' and to say people can only speak to them if they notify the chair in advance.

How can you encourage your team to use failure as a stepping stone to innovation and creativity?
It's important to understand that not everything that doesn't work is a 'failure' - if you're doing research into an area, or building prototypes, then you are experimenting, and a well thought through experiment is not a failure even if what you learn is 'never do this again'!
-
What are some tips to increase confidence when rehearsing for an online presentation?
For me, the key thing is always to remember that any presentation is a performance, and that whatever you want to communicate is filtered through that performance - the person presenting does not have to be the 'authentic' you, it can be the right version of you to reach your audience and get them to pay attention.
