Thank you, Ron
My personal experience is that there seems to be a balance point for each meeting in terms of how specific the agenda points and outcome are. If the points are too detailed (twenty items for discussion in a 60 minute meeting) I have seen just the first five actually getting discussed…
I think you point about clarity of…[Read more]

Cheer, Ron!
Creating a welcoming space in the meeting room can have a surprising effect on enabling people to relax. One seminar I led had an interesting piece of feedback –
“I knew it was going to be fun because there was a beautiful display of flowers on the trainer’s table”
It is often the tiny details that make the most impact in…[Read more]

Hi Ron!
Thank you for these. I was wondering if you could expand on how specifically each of these factors could effect the focus of the meeting? Are there particular criteria that the person can use to help guide them in each of these circumstances?
