Manager’s Toolbox: Effective Meetings, Time Management, and Facilitation Skills

Effective managers are first and foremost, great communicators. Communication is a skill-set that trickles down into most facets of your daily work including leading meetings and facilitating group projects and few realize the power of this skill in helping you to better manage your time. By improving your communication skills, you are elevating your influence within your organization. This session will provide participants with tips to refine your facilitation skills, tools to elevate your central message during team meetings, and will cover practical techniques to gain control over your day by eliminating common time-wasters.

A light breakfast will be provided to all participants.

Join Kalley Dunn, Director of Development and Strategic Initiatives, and Deborah Marshall, COO and Sr. VP of Development, of the American Fundraising Foundation, who will be co-facilitating this program!
