This half-day program will provide insight on how to effectively manage meetings. Meetings can literally be “time guzzlers”. They are costly both from time spent in them and the associated lost productivity and, then, if meetings are not productive, triple that cost. Each of us must learn how to effectively plan and participate in meetings. Participants will gain exposure to effective tools and techniques that are critical to managing meetings for successful outcomes.
