Description:

Are you tired of crummy virtual meetings?

You can do something about it with this workshop from the author of the Amazon best-seller, Mastering Online Meetings.

Employers are looking for leaders who can get people to work together, even if working remotely. Good online meetings are not an accident. Good meetings happen because there is good leadership.

Attend this workshop and learn how to lead groups through the special challenges of online meetings by good planning, engaging participants, using the right tools, and keeping things on track to reach a firm decision.

Enroll in this course and receive a free copy of your instructor’s book, Mastering Online Meetings, 52 Tips to Engage Your Audience and Get the Best Out of Your Virtual Meetings.

“The book Mastering Online Meetings is greater than the sum of its parts, but each tip is complete and immediately useable on its own because of the author's excellent organizational and presentation skills.” - Arlen Harmoning

Why Choose This Course?

The most valuable resource in a meeting is time—the time available for the meeting and time the participants could spend on other work. This workshop helps you make the best use of that time.

Everyone is busy these days. Crazy schedules, emails, texts, chats, etc.—in short, an avalanche of interruptions. Consider this workshop an investment—one that will improve personal productivity and an opportunity to bolster your leadership credibility.

“This book is a concise, substance-packed, guide for effective online meetings.” - JohnM360
