Maximize Your Meetings Conducting Effective Meetings to Drive Results To Meet or Not to Meet...That Is the Question! According

to a survey of U.S. professionals by Salary.com,

meetings ranked as the NUMBER ONE killer of office

productivity. Discussing the same things over and over

again, with no decisions, no changes and no solutions.

Have you been CHALLENGED with this same

frustration?

Meeting statistics are staggering: most professionals

spend approx. 25% of their time in meetings. It is not

unusual for leadership to be in meetings as often as 4

days a week. There are GOOD meetings and there are

BAD meetings. Bad meetings drone on forever, nothing is

accomplished, and no one ever seems to get to the point.

You leave feeling like it was a waste of your valuable

time. Effective meetings, however, leave you

EMPOWERED, ENERGIZED, and feeling like something

important was ACCOMPLISHED.
