Webinar: Meetings: Less Pain, More Gain
This is a two part webinar which meets from 12 - 1pm on July 22 and July 24
Meetings are an essential part of your day-to-day operations as well as an expression of your organization's culture. Not only are bad meetings a waste of time and money, they can send messages to your people that undercut performance, undermine loyalty, and lower morale. Bad meetings are a real problem.
In two highly interactive hours this course will review:
- Why a written agenda is the single most important predictor of a successful meeting.
- How effective meeting leaders bring everyone into a discussion, direct its flow, and guide groups to consensus.
- Four different kinds of decision-making processes, and how to choose the right one for your meetings.
- How to manage those inevitable conflicts and move polarized parties to consensus.
- How to improve meetings where you are not the leader.
Who will benefit:
Anyone in your organization who leads meetings or participates in them on a regular basis.
The H word:
Between classes, students will be asked to do a little light homework: you’ll be assigned to create an agenda for an upcoming meeting applying new techniques covered during the first hour.
Webinar: Strategic Communications: Cutting through the Clutter
This is a two part webinar which meets from 12 - 1pm on July 15 and July 16
There are four potential points of connection between you and your target audience. When you know all four and design your communications around them, every minute and dollar you invest will have a better chance of paying off. Fail to connect on even one point, however, and you give your audience an opportunity to walk away. And in this age of information overload, most audiences are happy to do just that.
“Strategic Communications: Cutting through the Clutter” will help you to connect with your audiences. Course curriculum includes:
- The basics of framing
- Message creation and delivery
- Classic case studies from the public-interest sector
- An easy-to-use template for campaign design
Who will benefit:
If you are involved in outreach—from a presentation in a conference room to an integrated marketing campaign—you will be able to apply the principles taught in this course.
Course materials:
Students will receive an Outreach Planning Template for applying The Four Connecting Points to future campaigns. Students will also receive a recommended reading list to help them learn more about strategic communications.
The H word:
After the second class, students will have the option to complete the Outreach Planning Template using an upcoming campaign and to have the template evaluated by the course instructor.
Webinar: Dialing In, Logging On, Nodding Off: The True Costs of Teleconferences, Videoconferences and Webinars
Given the current economic climate, everyone’s looking to cut costs and work smarter. And that means more organizations are scheduling teleconferences, videoconferences, and webinars instead of in-person meetings. On paper, where the savings clearly add up, this makes plenty of sense, but is anybody calculating what is lost when we meet this way?
This spring, The Goodman Center invited public interest professionals from across the US and Canada to answer that question. More than 1,200 people completed our online survey, giving us a much clearer picture of the potential downsides of “meeting without meeting.”
We’ll present the results of our survey in this free one-hour webinar, but you can download our full report now if you want an early look at the results. Space in our webinar is limited, so register today and find out why your organization may want to press the pause button before scheduling its next telemeeting.
To register, please email to Lori Matsumoto, lori@agoodmanonline.com, and include your name, title, and organization name.
