During your project meetings, are the participants reading email, surfing the web, or doing instant messaging while they “half-listen” to the meeting? Research shows that 90% of people participating in virtual meetings are “multitasking”: doing at least one other thing that is not related to the meeting. Wouldn’t it be better for your project outcome if team members and stakeholders paid full attention for the whole meeting? You may be surprised at the answer.
This entertaining and informative talk examines the challenge of multitasking and teaches coping skills, techniques, and tools to manage the attention of meeting participants.
