1 MAKE MEETINGS MATTER
​
Are you tired of unproductive meetings that don’t seem to achieve their business goals? Meetings can be more than time blocks on your calendar. You can transform your meetings into engaging, productive, and results-driven experiences – just by changing your approach.
The success of most meetings is based on how you prepare beforehand. This session will share strategies and insights that are practical and easy to implement, ensuring that you walk into your next meeting fully prepared to make it matter.
2 INTENTIONAL LISTENING & CRUCIAL QUESTIONS
What do you think most engages people in work conversations, or makes a lasting impression on the team? The popular belief is that we win at meetings by being clever and quick on our feet but listening with intent and knowing the right question to ask is far more important than having ready answers.
​
This session will immediately help you connect with people more quickly and contribute to meetings more effectively than you thought possible. It shows you how to use thought-provoking questions to engage the participants and uncover their most pressing issues.

'INTO THE BOARDROOM IS THE PROGRAM YOU NEED TO ENGAGE, PERSUADE AND SUCCEED AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL.'
There's no question that executive-level conversations are challenging. Ideas have the potential to create a powerful message, but often we give presentations to C-Suite that fail to engage and inspire action.
How can we inspire this action? It’s not about communicating—it’s about concise and persuasive communication.
