What if a few minutes today would greatly affect the results you'd get from a critical meeting next week?

A lot of us would make that investment, but what's the best thing to do?

On this episode, the critical steps to planning a meeting that will help

Produced by Innovate Learning, Maximizing Human Potential.

Greetings to you from Orange County, California. This is coaching for leaders and I'm your

host Dave Stahoviac. Leaders aren't born, they're made, and this weekly show gives you access to the practical wisdom that will empower you to become a better leader.

One of the key competencies that almost every leader, I actually think I can say every leader, needs to have is how to

facilitate, plan, and follow up on meetings.

expect. My guest today is Mamie Canfer Stewart.

She is the founder and CEO of Meteor, a global venture providing meeting management solutions.

Through consulting and technology, Meteor enables teams and organizations to develop a healthy

and productive meeting culture.
