Making Meetings Work: How to Maximize
Meeting Effectiveness and Efficiency
Scott Harris from Growth Masters
When you think about the next business meeting on your agenda, what thoughts come to mind? If you’re like most people, you’re familiar with these reactions: “Oh brother, I have
another meeting to go to” and “when am I ever going to get my work done?” The sentiments about meetings are unanimously negative, but they don’t have to be that way. If you want to
know how meetings can work for you instead of against you, this workshop was designed for you.
The truth is, successful organizations can’t afford to have meetings that are unproductive and take up more than enough time. Since the average company spends 15% of its personnel budget on
meetings, there is a significant amount of money at stake. Not to mention that unproductive meetings also cost meeting-goers their most valuable resource – time. The answer is to make your
meetings as effective as they can be. Effective meetings don’t happen by accident but require careful thought, preparation, and discipline. In this workshop you’ll learn:
- What’s wrong with most meetings
- Why meetings are important
- How to measure whether a meeting is successful
- Comprehensive steps for organizing a meeting
- How to create and utilize an agenda and minutes
- What you need to know when attending a meeting
- The different types of meetings and their processes
Don’t waste another minute of your valuable time in an unproductive meeting. Come see how your meetings can be more successful and efficient and yield tremendous long-term results!
