Meetings Gone Wild! Getting The Job Done With Less Stress and More Fun!
Time Magazine declared stress the epidemic of the 1980’s and things haven’t slowed down in the past 30 years…
especially in the life of a professional meeting planner! Computers, cell phones, continual changes and just the daily grind
can leave even the most resilient meeting professionals feeling like they are diagonally parked in a parallel universe!
Laughs abound as your team will learn how to “Deal With it Positively” so they can make the shift in attitude when things
get tight.
Attendees of this session will learn:
Key Attitudes that help break the stress barrier
Actionable strategies that can be used immediately to make the rapid mental adjustment necessary to move past
the stressful event and get the job done.
A renewed spirit and an action plan getting back up when the meeting life knocks them down
