Effective Meeting Management: How to Run Focused Meetings that Get Results  

Course Description:

What’s peeling away at productivity and profits?  Meetings!

In fact, managers spend between 25 to 70 percent of their days in meetings.  Industry Week Magazine went so far as to call meetings "the Great White Collar Crime" estimating that they waste 37 billion dollars a year.

Most meetings are time-eating, wasteful, and worst of all… lack results.  Before you run another, snore-inducing, inefficient, marathon meeting, find out how to make your meetings shorter, more focused, and productive in this must-attend CCM audio conference.

During this indispensable session, you’ll learn how to:

• Create a meeting plan that will get results
• Prepare a detailed agenda
• Manage meetings while sailing past obstacles
• Send prior and proper notification to attendees
• Control the discussion and keep it on track

• Evaluate meeting successes and get attendee follow up

You’ll also learn:

• How to polish your personal meeting management skills
• Tips for cultivating a productive meeting management mind-set
• How to keep participants awake and involved- even remote workers
