Beating Meeting Madness
Meetings are a major way we get things done in both our work and personal lives. Often though, meetings test our patience and waste our time. This session is for anyone who wants to run an effective meeting or who wants to make the meetings they participate in more effective.
Key topics that will be explored include:
* Characteristics of effective meetings
* Strategies and techniques for effective meetings
* Dealing with meeting nightmares
Participants will be asked to engage in a meeting exercise and results will be shared.
