Meeting Management

November 1, 2022 @ 10:00 am - 11:30 am EDT

$40

Description:

Meetings are essential for organization growth, but they can also be a huge time robber. If you’ve ever found yourself sitting in a meeting that could have been an email, you know what I’m talking about. But if they’re properly planned and executed, meetings can be an extremely powerful tool for driving organizations growth. Luckily, there are some tricks and tools you can use to make your meetings more effective. In this workshop, you will learn the puse of different types of meetings and the essentials to creating effective agendas and sticking to them. With a little effort, you can transform your meetings from time-wasters into powerful productivity boosters.
