"Uncover Meeting Facilitation Training Secrets
That Will Turn You Into A Confident,
Polished Group Leader, Presenter
And Public Speaker."
Why should meeting facilitation training and leading a group or
conference be so hard?
Dear Friend,
Do you need meeting facilitation training?
Do you fear leading a group discussion?
Do you get butterflies in your stomach at the thought of having to prepare for an important meeting or conference?
Do you think that you could get more from your
employees or co-workers?
Are you tired of exhausting meetings wasting your time?
Would you like to be able to turn gripe-sessions into powerful meetings that consistently get committed results?
If the answer to any of the above questions is YES - then you'll be happy to know that you can do this and much more!!
Now imagine going into a meeting with no doubt that you'll be able to harness the collective power and wisdom of everyone present and walk away with answers - solutions that everyone is eager to put into action. This is leadership. Leading. Getting people where they need to go.
Can you do it?
Absolutely! But you must have to have a plan, the right meeting facilitation training and the confidence and commitment to follow it through.
Who can we learn leadership from?
Who consistently produces the most and greatest leaders in world?
The United States Marine Corps!
Minutes from now, you can begin to transform yourself into a confident, professional and polished conference leader. Suddenly you'll have the tools to be able to deal with virtually any situation and tap into the collective power of any group.
Okay, But Great Leaders Are Born That Way, Right?
Wrong!
Sure, some people ARE born natural leaders and don't even know what they're doing. They may naturally do a couple things very well and be very successful, but you try and you have plan, you can learn EVERYTHING you should be doing to be even more effective.
Now, I'm not going to suggest that this reference contains absolutely everything about effective meeting and group management and leadership, but it's a great start (middle and maybe finish...) and it's what the Marine Corps has used for many years - so if there's a better single, condensed reference even they don't know about it! They use -
"Conference Leadership"
You're minutes away from discovering:

So where exactly is this information coming from? This eBook is an updated and revised Fleet Marine Force Reference Publication (specifically, FMFRP 0-23.) Though it had been published separately (and available to the public) through at least 1989 (the year before I entered the Marine Corps myself) it is has recently been incorporated into another publication which is no longer available. I'm not sure that it's really even in there (since the new publication is Classified) and this gem may be on its way to extinction!
I ran across an old copy and thought "Hey, everyone can benefit from this." These are the same methods and techniques I used successfully throughout my career.
The most amazing thing about this publication is that it is not what you'd probably expect from a Marine Corps publication. Let's face it - Marine's are typically easy to lead - they're Marines! But as opposed to an authoritarian, top-down, rigid process, this book lays out the process to used to take advantage of the experiences of the group as a whole, which will typically far exceed any single individual's and shows how to get everyone involved in discovering the solutions to any given problem. You can't just order people to think!!
