Don't Miss Our Stepember 19th Meeting!

A Holistic View – Making Meetings a Center Point

Don’t just be a cost center, be a value add center. We’re all “cost centers” supporting our companies and organizations. This keynote looks at ways to have your company see your role / department as critical and irreplaceable. This discussion suggests that we don’t wait until we’re told to downsize or diminish our offering. Instead, you build your reputation to proactively be seen as a must have. How can you, as a team leader, position your group as an “uncuttable” partner? The keynote portion of the presentation explores multiple ways to increase your strategic positioning and elevate your craft within your company. Have you ever been asked: “Can you find us a great keynote speaker?” “How can we make this session more interactive?” “Can we use something other than PPT?” We will explore a few ways to solve these challenges more strategically and thoughtfully.

• There will be active Q&A throughout the keynote.
•  Learner objectives:  Keep me inspired as a meeting planner; show me how to up my game and deliver more value; show me how to cleverly shift from tactician to strategist.
• Takeaways:  The learner/audience will walk away with ways to make your meetings/events not just a spoke on the wheel but the CenterPoint to your internal program or your external marketing plan. Learn a few tricks to tighten budgets and continue to deliver your craft. Learn some strategic positioning tactics that will elevate your status to strategic and critical.
