Santa Clara University campus
Online registration for this event.
What do you pay attention to in meetings? Chances are you often listen...or half-listen...to whoever is talking while you check your Blackberry, think about the work you still have to do (and can't do) while you're in the meeting, and how your plans for the weekend are shaping up. Big mistake! You are missing the opportunity to "go to school" on everybody sitting at the table. Pay attention to what each person says or doesn't say...and ask yourself why. You need to thoroughly know and understand everyone in the meeting because your knowledge will help you get what you want when you want it.
In this program you will practice and learn:
- How to pay critical attention in a meeting
- How to size-up every person in the room
- How to know what is important to whom and why
Who should attend?
Managers and professionals across all industries and functional areas.
