Boredom Busters
Boosting Engagement in Meetings and Trainings
Description:
Distracted expressions, dull responses, drooping eyelids, you've seen boredom
and it's not pretty - nor is it productive! Lack of engagement is perhaps
the biggest impediment to effective teaching and extraordinary meetings.
Yet you can increase enthusiasm, jumpstart creativity, expand problem-solving, and improve retention of information in every meeting and for every subject you teach. How? Focus on the four basic reasons for calling a meeting. Link those meeting elements with the four needs we all share that drive commitment and performance. Then watch enthusiasm grow.
Whether you lead meetings, facilitate training, or only give the occasional presentation, this workshop will provide practical techniques to maintain attention, increase involvement, and improve retention. Using active learning, you'll experience firsthand how to increase motivation, commitment, and involvement of participants. Attend this workshop and walk away with practical techniques you can use tomorrow to bust boredom wherever you find it.

What People Say about Brian Remer and Boredom Busters
"I really enjoyed getting to experience the engagement activities instead of [just] hearing about them."
"I liked the engagement - learning by doing and understanding that meetings and trainings are similar."
"I liked the tangible nature of the activities we participated in. They kept us engaged and provided us experience with the activities."
"Participatory, endlessly interesting, instantly applicable both personally and professionally."
"I think the reason you're such a good teacher is that you give the impression that you're learning from your students, that the adventure is mutual. That's a great gift."
"I enjoyed having an instructor who was wonderfully low-key, not a "know-it-all."
