I have been presenting custom-designed seminars inside of corporate and not-for-profit conference rooms for a long, long time now. (Just in the past 8 weeks, I have been to New York three times, London twice, and up and down the state of California. In the next month, I'll get to Denver New York City, and San Francisco!)
When I first start coordinating these one and two-day sessions, I interview a few of the people who will both be involved in the planning of the event as well as some of the participants-to-be. In that process, I'm asking:
What are you looking to increase as a result of a seminar on Maximizing Workplace Performance?
and
What are you looking to decrease as result of this seminar?
The answers have been interesting thus far. Here are some of the ones I've heard:
INCREASE:
Time on Task
Trust in each other
Sense of organization at the workstation
DECREASE:
Procrastination
Wasted time in meetings
Miscommunication
I would love to hear from you. Please leave a comment below, and after a few I will respond with some of the research and materials I have co-developed with my clients.
