Meetings: From Ordinary to Extraordinary

Arm Yourself with 26 Strategies to Gain Mastery over Your Meetings

Meetings from Ordinary to Extraordinary. Meetings are at the heart of successful organizations. They are a great way to clarify issues, sharpen focus, set direction, and move objectives forward. But a common complaint among managers is that their meetings fail to produce the desired results. That’s because if you don’t walk into a meeting with the right attitude or perspective, then your tactics usually won’t work. And if you don’t know where to put your attention, you won’t know which critical variables you should notice.

Learn what it takes to turn ordinary meetings into extraordinary ones in this webinar by industry expert Paul Axtell. Axtell will explain what perspectives are important for meeting leaders and for the participants; how to set up a topic; how to wrap up each agenda item to ensure alignment and action; and how to get the most out of each participant in a meeting.

You will learn what to do if your boss is terrible at meeting, and other useful things—such as how to influence a meeting as a participant, respect the time and talent in a meeting room, and ensure that everyone completes the agreed-upon action items before the next meeting. Plus, you will receive 26 powerful ideas to help you practice, learn, and gain mastery over your meetings.

After attending this instructive session, you will know where exactly to put your attention and what to look for to make all conversations more effective—especially those in meetings.
