Requirements
The training is designed to be interactive, with participant involvement exceeding 80% of the time. Each session follows a similar dynamic: an opening exercise to build new habits (raising awareness), a mini-lecture on techniques (knowledge), and exercises to practice new tactics and techniques (skills). At the end of each session, participants receive supplementary materials related to the topic covered. Practical content is summarized by mini-lectures that provide theoretical foundations and explain the basic psychological mechanisms that participants experience during the classroom training.

Meeting efficiency is something that's fairly "basic", but not thought about a lot and with really large implications on people/company time. Understanding these best practices and keeping them top-of-mind will be of immediate help.
