Effective
Meetings Training
Do your meetings ‘keep minutes and waste hours’ and turn people off? Participants learn tips, tools and techniques for keeping meetings focused and productive; the value of agendas; the REAL $$ cost of meetings; to recognize, manage and/or prevent disruptive behaviors. Explore types and purpose of meetings, how to create an environment for successful meeting outcome, alternatives to face-to-face meetings, and ways to assure follow-through on decisions made in meetings. Expanded workshops on this topic include facilitation techniques useful within meetings.
How
can your organization avoid these statistics?
Send employees to an Effective Meeting workshop where they will
gain knowledge and tools for immediate use to produce outcomes
beneficial to the organization.

When a meeting is over people tend to think the work is done.
Follow-up action is often neglected resulting in another wasted
meeting. Meetings that have too many people, too few people, or the wrong
people usually end up being the sort of get-together that gives
meetings a bad name.
80-20 rule
Eight percent of what makes effective meetings work happens outside
the meeting room, in the preparation phase and follow-up.
