Meet with Impact
Description
Meet With Impact gives you 40 exciting, engaging and easy visual tools to help make your meetings more productive and useful. Stuck in the same old slide-deck rut? There is a better way, and it's explained right here.
Like it or hate it we spend too much of our time in meetings, and even though many of these meetings may be deathly they are super important to our organisations. But they don't have to be so dull.
Instead of reaching for your slide deck when you have an important meeting coming up, you'll find practical inspiration that will help you plan a powerful meeting that gets stuff done.
With 40 tools that are colour-coded by type or use, you will be able to select a tool quickly and easily plus make notes for next time. Covering face-to-face and virtual meetings, you'll spend less time in pointless meetings and get a reputation for running the best meetings.
