Connext Webinar - Tips for Leading and Participating in Effective Virtual Meetings

Have you ever left a meeting thinking “that could have been an email” or “that was a waste of time?” You are not alone. Office meetings are a fact of life. Whether it’s an all-staff update, a team brainstorming session, or a one-on-one check in, most workplaces have meetings. And having an effective, satisfying meeting in our virtual world is that much harder. Join Connext for this session to get advice on making meetings, especially virtual meetings, purposeful and successful. A panel of experts will share their guidance for participating in and hosting meetings, and then take your questions.
