Meetings take up a large part of the average professional's workday.
Too often, however, nothing is done to prepare for and manage this critical
expenditure of time and resources. The result is too often feelings of
frustration, helplessness and wasted time.
In this targeted, interactive program, participants will learn the skills
to lead and participate in meetings that are more efficient, more productive
and more valued to everyone involved. Whether you are leading an internal
meeting, conducting a workshop or presenting to clients, this program
will teach you to:
- Prepare and practice for upcoming meetings
and presentations
- Set expectations and goals for the meeting
- Take control and remain in control of the meeting while
maximizing the involvement of everyone
- Keep people engaged and involved including those
attending the meeting by phone
- Stay on track and minimize digressions
- Deal with distractions and tangential conversations in
a decisive, non-confrontational manner
- Enhance your delivery by incorporating strong presentation
skills such as vocal variety and projection, eye contact
and effective body language
- React to being challenged in a non-emotional, productive
manner
- Stay on schedule, making sure the meeting ends on
time
- Create conclusions and action items from the meeting
- End the meeting
Bad meetings are one of the gravest ills to plague
the corporate world. Millions of hours and billions of dollars
are wasted each week in meetings that go nowhere.
Yet there is hope. This program will give you the tools to make your
meetings enjoyable experiences that will inspire your participants, create
action and make the most out of everyone's valuable time.
