Mastering Meetings

MASTERING MEETINGS

Ever had a meeting about a meeting about a meeting? We all have. Furthermore, our research has shown that approximately 85% of all meetings are unproductive. You and your employee's time is precious. That is why removing your workforce from more productive capacities to attend conference calls or meetings should culminate in more than a room full of people daydreaming and fidgeting with their cell phones. In short, ineffective meetings cannibalize team effectiveness, waste time, and decrease productivity. The good news is that if you can master the meeting then you can boost organizational efficiency and performance. We can help you do just that.

This course is ideal for all personnel in charge of scheduling, managing, or conducting meetings. Mastering Meetings will give participants the tools to become more productive with their planning and time management skills to ensure that their meetings are impactful and lead to concrete results.
