In the past couple of years, there’s been a cultural shift in workday flow—more meetings. The purpose of these meetings is to stay connected and on track with projects. But it can feel frustrating to attend meetings where people drone on or trip over each other to speak—especially if you’re working from home and juggling family logistics on the side. If you want to learn how to lead meetings (both virtually and in-person) that people actually enjoy attending, you’re in the right place!
This concise, three-part course will teach you the essentials of planning and facilitating excellent meetings that make the most of everyone’s time.

Avoid bad, boring meetings! Our methods and tips will help you run more focused, effective meetings.
Too many meetings are a waste of time.
We’ve all been there—forced to sit through another meeting where we really weren’t needed. Or, maybe you were in a meeting where things went off track, lost focus, and ended without any clear next steps because everyone needed to rush to the next meeting.
We feel you—it’s frustrating. But by shifting the way you do a few key things in your meetings, you can create better outcomes immediately. And because we appreciate how busy you are—learning the essentials of running great meetings won’t take much of your time. Our fast-paced, easy-to-follow course was thoughtfully designed to deliver great information that improves your meeting facilitation skills in approximately one hour.

Would you rather spend 75-minutes improving your meeting facilitation skills, or spend an entire day in a “better meetings” seminar?
Brevity is beautiful. Call us crazy, but we kind of resent taking the long way around when the most helpful techniques can be boiled down into fast lessons. We have personally coached and taught thousands of professionals how to become better communicators, whether it’s from the stage or at the front of the room.
Wondering if this will work for you?
The fact is, nothing will help improve your skills if you don’t engage with the material or apply the techniques. We know our methods work because we’ve trained professionals from a wide range of industries (from real estate to start-ups to city council members to advertising to financial services…and more). Our clients frequently share exciting results with us such as a progressive culture shift throughout the office—with meetings that end on time, have fewer off-topic sidetracks, and clearer action-oriented after-meeting objectives.

Well, that’s an approach you can take, but we guarantee you’ll spend more time (and your time is valuable) sifting through junk, fluff, and inexperienced “expert” advice.

What’s more—you’ll get helpful worksheets and downloadable, customizable templates that you can use and reuse.
