A meeting is a series of conversations intended to produce a set of outcomes. Yet, most meetings are not run very well. Great meetings don't just happen--they're planned. The emphasis of this program will be on understanding and applying fundamental principles that can improve meeting productivity. Many of the ideas can be applied whether you lead the meeting or serve as an active member. Plan on taking the last one-half hour of the workshop applying the principles you have learned to design or redesign an existing meeting that you are currently responsible for or involved in.
