Trainer: Gary Rush, IAF CPF


Gary Rush's 1 ½ -day highly interactive class teaches “how to” with an understanding of the "why" to conduct effective and productive teleconferences to collectively achieve a goal or accomplish a task. This class covers the People and Process skills that enable you to not only conduct highly effective and productive teleconferences, but it also enables you to manage participants and conflict - the good, the bad, and the ugly. This class is ideal for all people. It helps build your professional skills and confidence. It develops Collaborative Leaders.

 

Why? Because in this day and age, we have more and more meetings that are teleconferences or video-conferences. These are the way of the future. Unlike face-to-face meetings, you have to approach teleconferences differently to make them productive. It requires effective facilitation skills. Because – These teleconferences can be very productive when properly facilitated. How? Gary believes that theory is needed and teaches it to provide a background. He teaches specific “how to” and provides practice (40% of the class time) to allow development of what was learned enabling attendees to use the skills immediately upon returning to work.
