Stop Wasting Time in Poorly Run Meetings

How much of your work week do you spend in meetings?

How many of those meetings produce clear results?

Wasting time in meetings that are inefficient, boring, or nonproductive is not only bad for your bottom line but damages staff morale. Devoting a modest amount of time and attention to improving your company’s meetings will reward you with increased efficiency, a decrease in conflict, better decision-making, and greater group cohesiveness.

Eris Weaver’s “Meetings That Don’t Suck” training session will show you how to create effective meetings that people actually want to come to! Participants will not only discuss but practice techniques for agenda planning, meeting facilitation, and dealing with “difficult” people. Bring your examples of real-life challenges and go home with real tools you can use!

This highly interactive workshop will meet from 9 a.m. to noon Tuesday, Sept. 11 at the North Bay iHub, 1300 Valley House Drive in Rohnert Park. The cost is $65.
