In a recent survey by New York Times - Respondents said they spent 5.6 hours each week in meetings and 71 percent of them thought that those meetings “aren’t productive.”

The Challenge - Most Meetings Are:

Boring

Distracting

Poorly Led

Unispiring

Without Process

“If you think how you’ve always

What our clients are saying about trainings.

"One year later, we still have ideas from your facilitated brainstorming that we are looking -to implement. I think we have ideas for about 2 more years. Thank you!" - pharmaceutical

"What a powerful session! I would never have imagined getting all our different and competing suppliers on board working as a true team on all ideas that you helped us create. It was not just a brainstorming... It was a teambuilding in a box. We came out of a day's session with 4 game-changing ideas, all implemented successfully within 6 months. Moreover, everyone remained committed to working toward the same goal. I thought that was impossible and you made it a huge success."-technology services

"Three weeks later we have 2 great ideas already implemented that are making us money."- technology

"Up to date, we usually have 10% of registrations for our convention secured. This year we are up to 30%. This convention promises to be record breaking and we credit this the innovative ideas that came from our idea session with SeriouslyCreative. -association
