No more snore-worthy meetings!
With David Price
How to create and lead meetings that are highly productive and people want to attend.
In survey after survey, the most hated aspect of work is meetings! There are three main complaints – too many, too long, and not productive. There are lots of reasons but it simply does not have to be that way. In this session you’ll hear simple, practical and effective ways to make your meetings highly productive. People will actually want to attend because the meetings are fast moving, decisive and produce tangible results. The aim of any meeting should be to move things forward – not dwell in the past.
