  Meetings get an Extreme Makeover  | Details

  Presented by Mr Cliff Shaffran
  Thursday, May 20, 2010 12:30 PM (ASIA) Singapore

  We all know most meetings are far from optimal. In fact, the bottom-line cost of ineffective and inefficient business meetings alone is estimated at a staggering US$2-3 trillion per year!  But let's focus closer to home. How many ways do the meetings in your company reduce its productivity and competitiveness?

  
  Now,
  Imagine having people excited to come to meetings.
  Imagine if all meetings began with clear purpose and objectives.
  Imagine everyone contributing and no one dominating.
  Imagine meetings actually building stronger relationships.
  Imagine people being committed to decisions made.
  Imagine real follow-through on decisions and action-items.
  Imagine things actually getting done, through better meetings.
  Well you can stop dreaming and have all that. And more!
  

  By the end of this webinar you will benefit:
  Learn from the knowledge that has been proven in thousands of meetings across more than 25 countries. You’ll learn the powerful process of “mindmaxxing”, how simple it is to get better, faster, smarter results, and how easily you can achieve an immediate 20%+ increase in meeting performance. This is why we’ve given meetings an extreme makeover.
