Achieving Meeting Excellence Program
This highly interactive program can be a game changer for your organization! Based on our research conducted with our participants, people are spending, on average, 60% of their time in meetings and yet only 30-40% of those meetings are effective. Most say the meetings they attend are a serious "waste of time". Add to that the increase of virtual meetings and those percentages are worse.
A virtual or in-person workshop mastering the elements of highly effective meetings.
Many unproductive meetings lack preparation, focus and useful outcomes. In just one experiential session, your entire organization can shift the way it communicates to the business world.
