Webinar Description

Meetings take up a large part of our work calendars, and all of us have questioned the utility of many of those meetings. If you are leading the meeting, what can you do to maximize its efficiency and inclusivity? If you are a participant, what can you do in the moment to stop the meeting from derailing, in a way that feels fair to all? This webinar covers strategies to maximize the utility of meetings, so that we are not leading or participating in meetings that could have just been an email.

Who Should Attend

This session is intended for a broad audience and is open to all career levels. In particular, we invite early career professionals who are interested in moving into leadership positions.
