THE PROBLEM:
Countless Unproductive Meetings
Yet, the abundance of advice, tips, and tricks isn’t making a difference. The problem isn’t a lack of information, it’s the absence of good training.
So then, people are only learning how to lead meetings from going to bad meetings, well…
See the problem?
In a 2017 survey by UNC, 71% of senior managers said meetings are unproductive and inefficient.
The average employee attends 62 meetings per month.
THE SOLUTION:
Facilitation Skill Development
The Facilitation Skills Training is a hands-on, experiential training that equips your team with the skills, tools, and experiences necessary to be not only better participants in meetings, but actually lead the kind of meetings that get people saying, “that was one of the best meetings I’ve been to here.” It’s time to go beyond the books and provide hands on, practical learning that will help you internalize the process of running effective meetings EVERY time.
