Help! I'm in a meeting and I can't get out!


Do you groan when certain managers in your office call a meeting? Do you feel too much of your valuable time is wasted in meetings? Do you count the minutes and daydream about being far away from the conference room? We all have!

Despite these frustrations, are we all equally guilty of running ineffective meetings ourselves?

Through a fun and engaging murder mystery exercise, you will learn how to overcome common obstacles to communication and collaboration. As meeting "detectives," you will explore why meetings go off track, fall into tangents, develop power struggles and more. You will learn and practice tools and techniques to prevent these pitfalls and intervene respectfully and productively when they occur.

What You Will Learn

  • How to set realistic, measurable meeting objectives
  • The value and benefit of having a designated meeting facilitator and participants who use team-managed facilitation techniques
  • The key elements of group dynamics and strategies for effective observation
  • Tips and techniques for keeping group discussions focused, productive and on track

How You Will Learn

Through interactive presentations and group discussion, we create an experience that is fast-paced, practical and guaranteed to make a difference in your meetings. We reinforce key learnings with interactive polling technology.

Who Should Attend

Formal and informal leaders at all levels who are motivated to improve the effectiveness of
their meetings.

We can customize this presentation to address your group's particular challenges. Call us today; we look forward to discussing your specific needs.

"We have a fast culture at Best Buy/Future Shop, and everyone is looking for tools that are ready to use, that allow you to hit the ground running and that are very easy to understand. Help! gave us what we were looking for.

These simple facilitation tools have a huge impact on engagement by reducing the amount of frustration in meetings and discussions that are otherwise unproductive. We have even realized that many of our meetings are unnecessary in the first place!

By using the skills we learned in Help! to be more productive in meetings, including everyday conversations, we will help the organization be more productive and in turn, help develop our future leaders."
