Course Description
Overview
The reasons for holding meetings are almost as numerous as the number of hours spent in them. Research shows that the average individual sits through 9,000 hours of meetings in a lifetime — over 365 days — and that organizations spend thousands, sometimes millions, of dollars to make meetings happen. Most people groan at the thought of attending another meeting because meetings are often mismanaged. They get off track, are interrupted, take too much time, have unclear agendas, and lack effective leadership. This course teaches you to get more out of your meetings and increase your confidence to lead people in meetings that really mean business.
This course can be taken as part of the Advanced Leadership Certificate.
