Understanding what constitutes a successful meeting is a key element in any business professional's life. Employing the strategies outlined by Shri Henkel in her book, "Successful Meetings: How to Plan, Prepare and Execute Top Notch Business Meetings", anyone can do just that. The clear and concise presentation of the material in this book allows for an easy read. The author emphasizes the fact that communication is key for any business, organization or even family to reach an informed decision and put some form of action in to play.
The book discusses the initial need for and relevance of meetings and how you can evaluate whether or not a meeting is needed. It then launches into a description of the types of meetings, how to strategically plan a successful meeting, the elements of a successful meeting and covers in great detail every aspect of a meeting including follow-up. The information is both relevant and timely as it includes portions on how to use the technological equipment and resources available to enhance the meetings, through visual aids, use of the Internet and emails, etc.
Using case studies, diagrams, pictures and illustrations, and tables makes it also very enjoyable to the reader who is very visual. Paying close attention to detail and supplying links and other cost effective resources for the professional meeting planner as well as the general public, Shri Henkel has created a thoughtful and useful toolkit. I would highly recommend this book for office managers, meeting planners, community and faith based organizations and those members of the family reunion committee. Taking into consideration the costs associated with conducting a successful meeting, this book helps you to maximize your time and others effectively.
(Quoted from K. Laing, USA)

The rugged land, hard working people and rich history were too compelling to ignore. Cape Ann, Eastern Point and Gloucester, Massachusetts are the setting for her books which focus on the Stormy View lighthouse. Her first novella is set along the Outer Banks of North Carolina and is the first mystery in a series.

From Publisher
A study by MCI found that most professionals believe that over 50 percent of meeting time is wasted. More than 90 percent admit to daydreaming in meetings, 73 percent have brought other work, and 39 percent have fallen asleep. You might think that there would be fewer meetings. However, in the survey 46 percent said they attended more meetings than a year ago. Meetings cost time and money. Many meetings end with no results or outcome. How can you be sure you are using your time and money effectively? The answer: with proper training. Even MBA graduates have never had a course in how to plan, organize, and present an effective meeting. That is the subject of this new book which will teach the proper skills and training to get great results with every meeting, every time! You will learn the checklists for planning your meeting, setting the agenda, strategic planning, how the physical setting can be improved, how to properly open a meeting, handling difficult people and maintaining control, how to assess and evaluate your meetings, and the correct method to end a meeting. Good meetings don t just happen, they are planned and created.

Tired of boring meetings that seem pointless from start to finish? Whether you're leading or participating in a business meeting, it shouldn't be a painful process. In Successful Meetings, Shri Henkel strips the business meeting down to its bare bones, dissects and explains each and every aspect and builds it back up to a productive, stimulating and effective gathering.
Meeting participants and leaders share equal responsibility in ensuring any given meeting's success - but how is it possible to contribute your best without the right tools? Ineffective business meetings are a waste of time, energy and money. Thankfully, you won't have to suffer through one again after reading and applying Henkel's innovative techniques in your business. Even the office rookie becomes the shining star, once they are able to communicate their ideas effectively, contribute and even steer the course of a business meeting. Successful Meetings takes your meeting idea through initial and strategic planning, setting the tone, injecting humor without straying off course, stimulating participants, maximizing productivity and even measuring your success afterwards.
I enjoyed the straightforward, no-nonsense style of Henkel's guide. The logical layout guides the reader through each and every consideration possible, while remaining surprisingly light and readable. I highly recommend this book to anyone in business who will, at some point or another, engage in a meeting with their coworkers, whether they are leading the meeting or simply taking part. Every minute spent reading this guide is an hour you won't have to spend twiddling your thumbs through another dry, directionless meeting. |
