Thinking-Based Engagement & Collaboration
The Meeting Arena: Where the Action is.
Excite and engage your staff and they will transform your business.
This course delivers universal and modular strategies for step-ahead outcomes in every internal and external meeting. This is any time two people come together. Training in systems thinking and mapping increases the speed of communication and change.
Take advantage of the fact meetings contain decision makers, impacted parties, and diversity. We spend 35-50% of our times in meetings. If your meetings aren't maximized for productivity, you have a tremendous opportunity to dramatically impact your business effectiveness and increase employee engagement and happiness.
There are two formats of The Meeting Arena:
-
The Meeting Arena for managers with more theory to practice and practical collaborative leadership practices. We teach managers why they should value engagement, and what to do with it when they get it.
-
The Meeting Arena for front-line/production employees with a focus on how to engage and why engagement is important for their professional development.
