Is it time for your library or non-profit organization to rethink and rejuvenate your meetings?

Meetings should be productive and have a purpose. Staff members often dread meetings and would rather do anything but attend them. Maybe you’ve just gotten in the habit of having meetings that really could have been an email…

I can provide your library or non-profit organization with training and coaching sessions to introduce and reaffirm various components of hosting and attending meetings. I focus on group dynamics, active listening skills, conflict management, creating an inclusive environment, and communicating clear meeting guidelines, instructions, and outcomes.

Feel free to email me at curtisrogersconsulting@gmail.com to discuss how I can help you move in the direction of conducting better meetings.
