Are your meetings as productive as they should be? Meeting Facilitation
Training gives you the tools necessary to plan effective meetings.
In order to plan effective meetings, you must learn how to: start
and end effective meetings, maximize your meeting time, manage
conflicts, help groups identify and accomplish meeting tasks.
Good and Bad Meetings: We've all attended
good and bad presentations, training sessions and meetings.
What are some techniques that presenters and facilitators
have used that made it either an enjoyable experience or an
uncomfortable one? What other criteria made it productive
or non-productive?
To Meet or Not To Meet: Executives and managers
spend more than 75% of their work time in meetings. In this

and unproductive meetings are a significant contribution to
job stress and wasted money for your company or organization.

the effective meeting facilitation, you will learn the different
types of meeting, planning a meeting, and how to structure a
