Running Effective Meetings
Everybody has sat through bad meetings, and if you haven’t…you will. Why? Because neither high school nor university ever teach something as fundamentally important as how to actually run a meeting, let alone a good meeting!
To bridge one of the more frustrating gaps between school and the real-world, Epee’s Founder Alan Levy puts a humorous spin on his personal insight into meetings.
We start by introducing the “Bad Meeting Gang” (i.e. what usually goes wrong), followed by the superhero team that can put away the Bad Meeting Gang for good. The course wraps up with a discussion of how to structure a meeting to be successful and drive accountability before people ever arrive.
