Time Management for Virtual Meetings from the CRUX Learning Series #ProductivityInTheWild
Virtual meetings have potential to lose a lot of time, money, and energy. This presentation will leave you with actionable items to stop that bleed of time and money, through the following ways:
- Understand the major pitfalls of wasteful virtual calls
- Plan accordingly and align your agenda
- Facilitate with time & objectives in mind
This is a 60 minute presentation, with questions throughout, and more in depth Q & A at the end. I also offer a shorter version -you give me 20 minutes, I’ll get you back at least that much time. This hour presentation has that same time back guarantee. Give me your attention for 60 minutes and you’ll get at least that much time back in your schedule!

Maryland Chamber of Commerce Launches “ReNEW Maryland” Initiative
|
|
The Maryland Chamber of Commerce launched our ReNew Maryland plan to get Maryland's businesses up and running when the time comes.
“The health and safety of the public, including our 4,500 members and federated partners and their employees, remains our top priority,” said Christine Ross, president and CEO of the Maryland Chamber of Commerce. “We also believe that federal and state actions taken to address the challenges posed by the evolving crisis must appropriately balance public health and safety with the economic realities our members face. Our ‘ReNEW Maryland’ plan features proposals that are meant to serve as a menu of options for recovery efforts that will get Marylanders back to work as soon and as safely as possible.”
