Six Figure Meetings: How To Master the Art of Impactful Meetings - Paperback

by Andrew Martin (Author)

Meetings are widely regarded as a source of frustration and inconvenience. People say they are trapped in too many meetings, and for too long. They complain they are time-wasting events that divert us from our core tasks, leaving us feeling drained and unproductive.

How about you-do you despise meetings?

Andrew Martin proudly considers himself a meeting contrarian. Unlike most people, he loves meetings. However, not just any meeting, well-managed meetings that serve as a catalyst for success. Andrew's colleagues jokingly refer to him as the "meeting whisperer," because great meeting management is his passion and expertise.

Andrew's easy-to-read primer on leading meetings is full of advice you wished you'd already known. But it's never too late! Inside the page of this book, you'll learn:

• How to get more out of people during meetings.
• Effective steps to navigating conflict.
• The importance of creating meeting agendas.
• Why you should define the purpose for every meeting.
• How to decide who to invite.
