Make Meetings More Meaningful
The concept of meetings about meetings is not a mere business myth - for many it's a real and frustrating part of their working life. Meetings take up time and personnel, and if they're not conducted properly they can turn out to be quite ineffective.
So, is there a better, more effective way to approach this element of how we do business every day?

Frequently Asked Questions
What does Live, Online training entail?
We use Zoom to run our live, interactive online sessions, and each class is secured with password access so only the registered participants can join. We ask you to keep your camera on if at all possible. You can join through any browser, or download and instal the free Zoom app from www.zoom.us
And if the course is in-person in the classroom?
In-classroom courses are paperless, so printed course notes will not be distributed to learners. Where possible we will share soft copies of notes with you ahead of the course session. However, you are welcome to use your laptop or tablet throughout the course and print notes that are shared with you by the trainer.
