Overview
The feedback we have received from clients is that the meetings that they either lead or attend tend to get off track and lack participation.

Let's look at the reasons why:

Why meetings get off track:

  • agenda item purposes are never established or are forgotten or ignored
  • time limits are not established and enforced
  • no one is timekeeping

Why meetings suffer from lack of participation:

  • participants are unprepared
  • facilitator is not engaging
  • the purposes for some meetings don't call for participation
  • there is disinterest in the topics
  • participation is not monitored
  • roles are not established

In our 2½-hour seminar, we provide meeting leaders with the awareness, skills, tools, and techniques for holding more effective meetings.
