Meetings that energise…
Have you ever been to a meeting and felt like it wasn’t the best use of your time? Or, perhaps you find yourself questioning why you are even there? One thing is for sure, our time is valuable and a poorly organised meeting without an agenda can be ineffective and time-consuming.
