Editor's Notes
- Title Slide | Section Break: Use this slide as both the main title slide for the presentation and as a section/topic break. Picture icon button allows you to quickly insert whatever image you want directly into the slide without resizing or formatting.
- Join.me is like Skype and a good collaboration tool for informal meetings.
- This really kills me, if you are a manager and you are calling meetings that require your staff to wasting even 20% of their week, is that what we want to be paying for? What if you use consultants etc. Take a moment to think about your average week, figure out the amount of hours you spend in meetings, What percentage of your week do you spend in meetings?Let me see a show of hands for less than 10%Over 20%Over 30%Over 40%Do the rest of you even work?
- Jen to make list or call out what you hate?Biggest reason for holding meetings?
