The Greatest Meeting Never Held

The Greatest Meeting Never Held

Why most meetings don't work - and what to do about it

How much time do you spend a week in meetings. And how much of that time is, frankly, wasted? For many of us, the answer is far too much.

What if every meeting counted? If they gave you energy, rather than draining you? If they accelerated your business rather than getting in the way?

David Pearl, aka the Meeting Doctor, is known for his pioneering work transforming meetings of all sizes into valuable, memorable and enjoyable experiences.

He has a decade's experience helping organisations around the world become more inspired and inspiring. This has called for a radical approach to meetings - from one-to-one up to summits and conferences for 1000+ delegates. He is known in board rooms across the world for helping create meetings that generate value and have a lasting impact. As a successful creative entrepreneur he knows business from the inside and his unique perspective draws on his lifelong experiences as performer, presenter, film writer and opera singer. It's an approach which considers design and leading meetings a craft - one that can be learned - with clear analytics and dos and donts.

In this engaging, fast moving and interactive session he offers:

Design insights - most meetings are not designed they are thrown together 'kebab' style. David offers a robust design template to help you approach meetings more powerfully from the start
Diagnostic tools - what are you doing wrong and how to correct it
Interactive Exercises where you can practise new ways to get yourself in and out of trouble
Budgeting tips - It is not just time that's frequently wasted. Money too. If your meetings are ailing, budget is rarely the answer. Nor razamatazz. When you really understand the anatomy and musculature of a meeting you can make maximum impact with minimal means.
Top Turn Offs (or Engagement Killers) - as useful outside a meeting as in one.
Powerpoint Masterclass
Live Meeting Clinic - for on the spot diagnosis of your ailing meetings and prescription for a healthier future.

Practise makes Practical - Following the meeting you will receive a digital practise program which will prompt you to implement the insights you have gain - which turn every meeting into a chance to practise and master what you have learned.
