KEY INFORMATION FOR THE MEETING PLANNER

AUDIENCE:
This workshop is best marketed for "stand-alone" meetings, or as a separate registration program as part of a convention. It is not effective for large conventions as an "open session" where attendees wander in and out. Participants complete a questionnaire early in the meeting and, late-joiners would not relate to the material. IMPORTANT: Attendance should be limited to 250 people.

The concepts presented are relevant to all levels of management and staff and the information is appropriate for presentation to a mixed group. In fact, the ideal audience is composed of entire teams. The benefit of attendance as a team is a far greater understanding and appreciation for each other through recognizing the strengths of each behavioral style.

AUDIO-VISUAL REQUIREMENTS: 

  • LCD projector (2000 lumens minimum)
  • Screen
  • Wireless microphone (preferably handheld)
     

IDEAL TIME FRAMES:

  • Full day seminar to 3-day retreat. Though the basic concepts can be presented in a half-day session, this program has the greatest long-term impact when it is presented in a workshop environment.
  • In the longer format, there are exercises in which the whole team participates. They will leave such a program with more tools to develop cohesion amongst themselves.
  • Participants will gain a new perspective of how to communicate effectively with patients; implementation of the concepts will be most effective when all team members have experienced the presentation together.


IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE MEETING ROOM YOU SELECT:
This presentation is highly interactive. DO NOT schedule this session for an amphitheatre/auditorium (fixed, ramped seating) or for banquet seating (round tables). These settings significantly reduce program effectiveness.

Please ensure that the room is suitable for image projection. If there are windows in the room you select, please ensure that there are black-out curtains or screens to darken the room.
