Apologies for cross posting
Do you dread going to meetings as you feel that they are a waste of your time which could be more productively spent doing "real" work?
Do you spend a lot of time in meetings and come away feeling frustrated that little or nothing has been agreed/achieved?
Do you feel that you have valuable ideas to contribute but never seem to get across what you want to say.
Do you often find that meetings you attend are "hijacked" by other people who are only interested in pursuing their own agendas.
If any of the above apply to you then you will find the following NoWAL course of great value. The course will take place at the Crewe campus of MMU which has excellent transport links and is only 5 minutes walk from the train station.
