Our meeting effectiveness programs focus on what to do before, during and after a meeting to minimize time and maximize effectiveness. We also explore what roles need to be filled, and how to manage difficult people in meetings (See Details Below). Every LTI classroom program is designed to achieve specific results aligned with your immediate business needs. By focusing on skills and concepts, promoting direct application, and creating an environment where participants can practice new strategies, the likelihood of impacting real, positive change, is dramatically improved. Each of our programs is specifically designed to address your unique set of needs, and can incorporate any number of assessments and tools that are necessary for achieving those results. Classroom programs can range in length from two hours to three days. We can conduct these sessions at your place of business, or at other locations including conference centers, resorts, or other meeting facilities. All programs are customized to suit your specific needs and to ensure that the results: Address real and recognizable issues. Fit your organization's culture. Reinforce other training and management initiatives. LTI's focus is on actual implementation of new solutions. We believe there are four critical steps in designing programs that result in positive change. These four primary components represent the cornerstones of every LTI program. Accurate Needs Assessment: what is the issue Well-Defined Goals & Objectives: where do you want to be Hands-On Experience: practice and adaptation Leave With a Plan: what is next We view ourselves as your business partner. By helping you create a training strategy, and then systematically addressing critical issues, both individuals and teams become better equipped to overcome not only daily, but also long-term challenges. Our Goal: to become your business partner, providing perspective, support, and solutions. Our Mission: to design training so specific to YOUR needs that you will use those skills on a daily basis. Our Purpose: to help you overcome obstacles to success
