Helen's 9 Rules for Meaningful Meetings

A common complaint in the business world is, "I can't get any work done for attending meetings." This suggests that people consider business meetings not as part of their work but as an interruption to it. That's mainly because a great deal of time is wasted by leaders who don't know how to control a meeting, and participants who don't know how to behave at one. Neither gets the most value from what should be a useful business tool.

The audience will learn:

• How to identify and use an objective for a meeting
• What to do before the meeting
• Basic meeting skills for both leaders and participants
• How to have an impact at a meeting
• How to handle arguments
• Meeting manners
• Post-meeting evaluation and follow-up

This practical session will help anyone in business who must meet with anyone else at any time.

This program is also available as a concurrent session for your conference.

Note: This presentation deals with internal business meetings, not outside conference-type meetings.
