Companies frequently over-rely on meetings as their primary collaboration tool for want of a better standard for when something should be a meeting. Compounding this problem, the meetings that might be good uses of time are often frequently ruined by a lack of planning, design and focus.

I also really liked the tool for self-awareness as a meeting participant. The facilitation was excellent. excellent, excellent! You really crushed all the training objectives.

Aylah D. - Assistant Producer - Striking Distance Studios
I would recommend this training. It was top notch. I particularly liked the exploration of the different types of personalities that come out in meetings.
Rachel and Andre were really personable and easy to listen to. They had a really solid command of Zoom and all the other tools that we used to keep the course moving.
