Requirements
This training is designed to be interactive, with participant involvement accounting for over 80% of the session time. Each session follows a similar dynamic: an opening exercise to introduce new habits (building awareness), a mini-lecture on techniques (knowledge), and exercises for new tactics and techniques (skills). After each session, participants receive supplementary materials related to the topics covered. Practical materials are summarized by mini-lectures that provide theoretical foundations and explain the basic psychological mechanisms experienced by participants during the training sessions.

Meeting efficiency is something that's fairly "basic", but not thought about a lot and with really large implications on people/company time. Understanding these best practices and keeping them top-of-mind will be of immediate help.
