When discussing the big business issues with your employees or clients it is vitally important to make sure they are 100% engaged all the way through the meeting. The problem is, the boardroom isnít always the most inspiring place and, understandably, meeting attendees can spend more time drifting to distraction than offering their contribution. Indeed, in research conducted by Crowne Plaza Hotels & Resorts, 83% of respondents say they only pay attention to the first half of the meeting.
More than 1 in 10 Brits admit that they have fallen asleep during a tedious meeting and more than a third frequently catch themselves on the brink of dropping off.
Creative expert Roger von Oech has designed innovative business tools to help solve those common meeting problems that everyone experiences such as loss of concentration and inability to meet the meetingís objectives. Roger has written several books on creativity and shares his secrets on how to stimulate others, no matter how long the meeting over-runs, in this great new video.
