Meetings That Work!  
Webinar (07/28/20)

We’ve probably all read the statistics about meetings.  Some experts estimate that over 50% of our meeting time is wasted – think of how much that could be costing your organization!  But it doesn’t need to be that way.

In this world of budget cuts and doing more with less, how we’re handling our meetings is sometimes overlooked as a potential money saver and productivity enhancer – yes, we said “productivity enhancer” in the same sentence as “meetings!” And although we don’t necessarily think of “saving money” in our library environments, wasted time = wasted money.

 In this session, we’ll learn what to do about the 3 key areas that make a meeting successful. Simply paying attention to each segment of the meeting process can do wonders for improving the effectiveness of those meetings.

We’ll also discuss 7 reasons many meetings are considered ineffective and specific ways you can avoid getting caught in those common traps.
