Meetings that fire your brain!

Ellen Weber has some amazing gifts for facilitating inspiring meetings.  No one touches her skills to crank up brainpower from entire groups.  And she ends right on time or even early.  On a whim, I jotted down several strategies Ellen seemed to pull from a hat to make this happen.

Ellen was amazed to see these listed so I encouraged her to write a book.  Since many folks agonize about ways make meetings effective, whether a participant or facilitor, it seemed like a winner.  When Ellen saw the list, her creativity hit the top with ideas that would not wait.  She hunted and pecked vehemently to type the first draft.

Strategies in the book [in press] are written for leaders and learners who expect more brainpower for innovation at meetings. If you were to use this book [in press] to guide your next meeting, what topics would you like to see addressed?

Dynamic Meetings with More Brainpower

Discover new strategies to make your meetings dynamic. The Lead Change Group is sponsored a free teleconference, May 25, 8-9:30 pm.

Join Susan Mazza, author of the Random Acts of Leadership blog, as she interviews Dr. Ellen Weber and Dr. Robyn McMaster from the MITA International Brain Center to learn how to apply brain based strategies to meeting effectiveness.

Here's more about what we'll be talking about...

People constantly complain that “meetings suck” where they work, and surprisingly few feel they can transform these fiascos. Yet since meetings continue to be one of the primary structures we use for having the conversations that support us in communicating and working effectively together, can they be transformed to be satisfying, productive uses of our time and energy? We say yes!

We'd welcome your questions at this interactive session.
