Meeting Facilitation #1 rule for success
« on: February 06, 2017, 01:20:56 PM »
I went to a State of Indiana training session for Economic Development meeting facilitators last week and the tile of the session was basically, "Your topic has to be short enough to fit on a t-shirt"  anything longer and you will lose the attention of your group.

Words of wisdom well spoken, don't ya think!

My 2 cents.

Well as someone who has actually timed the cad-cut weeding process to establish pricing, I gotta say that I'd modify his advice thusly:"Your topic has to be short enough to fit on a t-shirt and be readable from across the room"

If your business model revoles around millennials.. this can't be any farther from the truth. If you cant get and hold their attention for 5 minutes.. you get left swiped.
