  This practical, comprehensive guide to designing and running more effective meetings will result in less time wasted, more collaborative decision-making, and measurably improved business outcomes. 
   
  This valuable resource lays out a structured method for designing and leading better meetings. Its facilitative approach marks a transition from the leader as "the expert with the answers" to a new world where the leader's job is to ask the right questions and manage context. To ask the right questions, facilitators need access to a wide range of tools and expertise to match the tool with the situation. With facilitative tools properly applied, leaders can build consensus around important questions, creating buy-in among team members and stakeholders, which will make their work so much more effective. At the end of every meeting, the participants, not the presenter, will own the content, which is key. Used correctly, these resources can help build a culture of engagement and motivation. This book is an easy-to-navigate catalog of tools collected and tested by the MG Rush Facilitation consultancy to provide evidence-based results.

  Take Responsibility and Take Control of Your LifeI am an engineer. I ran my own sales engineering business for 16 years and had amazing success beyond my imagination. I concentrated on personal development and was fascinated with aspects of psychology. I know. Weird. Engineers and sales and psychology... don't often go together. DISC and Emotional Intelligence were two concepts where I provided assessments. I felt I had good ideas to share for career and personal development. As I began writing, a method for dealing with emotional events, big and small, fell into place. It was the same method I had been using most of life but had never managed to articulate it. When I encountered even small emotional events that were negatively impacting me, I actively took control. I didn't allow myself to get triggered to the point where I would enter an Amygdala hijacked state. It was an assembly of lesser-known sales and psychology ideas, that blended into the method I share in the book. Learning the basics of the method is quick. I provide an acronym, ABC1, you can use right away. Once you've tried the method on a couple of issues, you can expand the applicability of ABC1 to big and small issues. It's resolving those small issues, that blew me away early on.  
  In this audio-book you will discover:The simple, memorable shortcut for taking responsibility that you can use forever. How to minimize blame and take back control.How to understand others’ personality styles.How your new skills will help solve complicated business and personal issues.
