Do you dread going to “one more meeting”? Feel like meetings are a waste of time, and nothing gets done? It’s not just you - meetings have become update sessions instead of time to bring people together working towards progress for your firm. You can bring back the productive meeting. This session outlines sample agendas for effective meetings, facilitation tips and tricks, as well as how to prepare for and run meetings to achieve a variety of goals, whether your meetings are in person or online.
Program Speaker: Jeffrey Schoenberger, Affinity Consulting
About the Speaker: Jeff’s unique role involves business coaching for Lawyerist and overseeing Affinity’s Practice Management Advisory program. Prior to joining the Affinity family, Jeff practiced law with Legal Aid in Cincinnati, Ohio. He learned about Affinity and consulting as a career path through some of owners Paul Unger’s and Barron Henley’s CLE courses. Jeff describes his superpower as his ability to break down complex concepts into manageable pieces. His favorite part of his job is discovering new tech and techniques to help attorneys.
