Leading Effective Virtual Meetings

For those who need to lead projects/team meetings remotely, virtual meetings are a fact of life. But unless you’ve had proper training in how to prepare, lead and get the best results from them, how do you know you'll get tangible results? This is where GreatWebMeetings.com can help. We work with small groups on the web presentation platform of your choice to speed up adoption of the tools, comfort with their use and give greater return on your technology investment.

Consider the following:

  • Over half a manager’s time is spent on meetings, many of them held via webinar, video conferencing or telephone
  • 60% of those meetings are considered wasted time by both participants and meeting leaders
  • Fewer than 20% of managers have received any kind of coaching or training in the dynamics of effective online meeting leadership.

This course is ideal for: Project Managers, Team Leaders and anyone responsible for using web presentation tools to get work done and build great working relationships.

Format

This 90 minute webinar workshop is designed for up to 10 participants to allow maximum interaction and learning. In it participants will see great meeting skills modeled on the tool they’re expected to use. They’ll    then learn some simple rules and best practices for leading meetings that get results. An optional follow-up session is available for hands-on practice and coaching.

Course includes a pre-class assessment of their current online meeting effectiveness, copies of the course visuals and a PDF, re-printable packet of planning tools they can use for future presentations.
