Methods to Maximize Your Meeting

Have you spent time, money and effort to put on a meeting, only to have it sabotaged by distractions?

This seminar will systematically assist you in preventing distractions from disrupting your valuable meeting time. Implementing this routine will maximize your return on event.  Join us for the Eliminate Distractions Workshop.  Master dynamic, interactive, & practical ways to Maximize your meetings with Jolene Jang, the Meeting Maximizer and President of National Speakers Association of the Northwest.
