Format

This 8 hour workshop is highly interactive and productive. It is actually run like a meeting. The participants collectively create a model of an ideal meeting. They will experience all the critical meeting tasks including planning, framing, warming, focusing, "follow-throughing", and evaluating meetings. Each person will practice leading meetings by conducting a mini-meeting using many of the simple interactive tools we teach them.

Our two-day version is more extensive than the 8 hour version. It provides more time for practice and the topics are covered in greater depth and detail. If your focus is on meeting facilitation and engaging your meeting attendees we recommend our two-day version.
