West Region: Putting More Life Into Your Meetings

Americans attend millions of meetings every year, yet few of them ever live up to their potential. Why not? Because meetings are almost always set up wrong. Too much attention is paid to the agenda, and not enough to the people involved. It's not that an agenda is unimportant, but to maintain attention and encourage participation requires a greater understanding of the motives of human beings. People are multi-tasking more than ever - they have loads to do, emails and BlackBerrys distract them constantly and meetings appear as a hindrance in their day, not a profitable venture.

In this workshop, Steve Prentice, author, MPI Platinum Speaker, and specialist in organizational psychology, will talk about real techniques for turning a meeting into a dynamic, productive, time efficient, structured and interactive event that moves your business forward.
