Meeting Management

In 2005, the Ayers group reported that in the United States alone, 25 million hours were spent in meetings. Half of those hours were wasted. With an average American hourly wage of $16 per hour, that is a minimum of $200 million dollars in waste. When you further consider that the average meeting attendant is at the management level or higher, that figure is a very low estimate. The Meeting Management workshop will explore how to reduce waste and make meetings more efficient. To read more about this shortcourse, click here

The Presentation Skills training will give participants some presentation skills that will make speaking in public less terrifying and more enjoyable. Topics that participants can look forward to include creating a compelling program, using various types of visual aids, and engaging the audience. To read more about this shortcourse, click here
