About the workshop

One day. Class size is limited to 14 people, large enough to keep costs down and small enough to preserve high personal involvement. The essential aspects for creating an effective meeting are presented during the morning session. Each participant prepares a real agenda for a real upcoming meeting for which he or she is responsible. A Meeting Laboratory is conducted in the afternoon during which each participant takes a turn as facilitator and receives feedback from other participants. One of the objectives for the Meeting Laboratory is to "develop compelling ideas for making effective meetings the norm for your organization."
