What are people saying about this workshop?
“I have been incredibly surprised at how many times I have already used the tools taught in this workshop. Already I have used hooks, lightning rounds, unique sorts, and group sorts and they have been very effective, especially the hook to get a meeting started. I first thought that a whole day on having meetings was going to be way too long. However, I have found that this is probably the most applicable topic to our daily activities since we are so involved in meetings and therefore the time in the training was very much warranted.”

“I have had the opportunity of experiencing the effectiveness of the tools learned in this workshop. I was most impressed by the techniques I learned that keep meeting members focused and engaged, such as, how to establish and enforce meeting ground rules, encourage brainstorming, and enable decision making and consensus through a simple, yet effective voting process. These newly learned techniques have already helped our organization make significant progress towards our goals.”
