Meeting Makeover:
Say 'Good-bye' to Inefficient, Poorly Run Meetings

Studies show that the average person spends about five hours a week in meetings. Of course, some weeks are more packed with meetings than others, and some employees must attend more meetings than their co-workers. But on average, your employees are spending a good portion of their work hours in meetings.

By following the advice presented in the Meeting Makeover Training Kit, you'll learn a process for transforming your dull, unproductive, time-draining meetings into efficient and effective meetings that make the time and the money you spend while employees attend them worth it.
