Here's what 200 middle managers in a Fortune 10 company had to say about Mad About Meetings:
"Please have all managers take this course."
"I never quantified meeting time to cost [before]. That was really an eye-opener."
"This training provided me insight to simple steps I can take to help me in any meeting I hold or attend. HUGE VALUE for me!!! Thank you!"
"This class will help you see some light at the end of the long lack of proper planning for meetings tunnel."
"Get that book written so it can be recommended reading!"
How many millions
has your business squandered
in ineffective meetings this year?
It's time to get mad. Wasted time and money adds up fast. Especially in this economy, in which organizations are having to cut jobs and programs and fight to survive. Yet, without blinking an eye we waste millions and more in meetings. Why? Because despite the fact that meetings are the single most essential foundational tool for all business, almost none of us have been trained in how to make them effective.
Give leaders the tools to turn meetings from time, money & energy drains into productivity generators.
The Mad About Meetings series is based on science from the fields of business, coaching, psychology, neurolinguistic programming and more — plus decades of hands-on experience in ineffective meetings.
These aren't just meeting skills. They're leadership skills.
The
skills taught in the Mad About Meetings training aren't just for
meetings. As managers are learning about meetings, they're also
learning about leading — and gaining leadership tools and abilities that can be put
to use in a wide variety of situations.

How it works.
The most effective way for busy professionals to learn and integrate the principles of powerful meetings is through a series of brief, focused interactive trainings, generally 30-60 minutes long, twice a month for a full year, delivered either live or by real-time webinar. This gives your people the opportunity to work with the principles one at a time, put them into practice during the week, and bring challenges and questions on each topic to the next subsequent module for fine-tuning and problem solving.
