This two-day program teaches facilitators or team members how to conduct and participate in successful, productive meetings. It includes techniques for harnessing human energy and important information on the cognitive and emotional ways people participate and communicate in meetings.

A dynamic, hands-on seminar in which each participant prepares and leads a "simulated real-world meeting," it includes advanced perspectives on meeting fundamentals:

• Quickly organize goal-driven meeting agendas for the four types of meetings.
• Create an interactive, collaborative setting with room-seating arrangements.
• Connect with participants to spur listening, interaction, and discussion.
• Track disparate trains of thought with star-and cluster-group listening techniques.
• Connect in a way that encourages listening, discussion, and interaction.

Personalized, Expert Coaching
With extensive experience in business and executive settings, our coaches have all been in your shoes and are committed to your improvement. Whether you need practical tools or someone coaching you through “speaking anxiety,” Making Meetings Work brings immediate results in improving the quality and effectiveness of meetings.

Tools for Efficiency and Consensus Building
Decker offers two well-received organizational tools that can make every meeting a predictably successful endeavor. For planning, the Decker Pyramid Technique™ helps you develop clear and efficient agendas. For meeting conduct, Stones Across the Brook™ helps you build immediate rapport, formulate clear assertions, and stay on track. These popular methods along with our personalized coaching take into consideration visual aids, note taking, seating dynamics, personality and learning styles, and much more.

Immediate Improvement

• Reduce anxiety through discovering your natural, innate interaction style.
• Overcome barriers such as perfectionism, defensiveness, and lack of preparation.
