FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MUNDANE AND MEANINGLESS MEETINGS A THING OF THE PAST
New Book A Guide to Surviving Meetings and Making them Work


[Nanaimo, BC – 6 January 2017] When so many people have been stuck in meetings where they cannot get a word in, stay awake, or stop shifting in their chair because the discussion has gone well over time, it's no wonder meetings are one of the most dreaded workplace necessities. Often deemed as inefficient uses of time and ineffective tools for exploring ideas, meetings get a bad rap. Having suffered through countless meetings throughout his career, Bruce Partridge has published a new book, Effective Meetings: A Practical Guide, to help others avoid the same fate and learn how to have successful – even enjoyable – meetings.

Effective Meetings: A Practical Guide by Bruce Partridge presents an easy-to-read, incredibly detailed, yet never dry manual for holding better meetings. This book covers everything from planning the meeting to taking back the reins. With humour and a great understanding of human behaviour, Partridge offers advice on how to tackle nearly any meeting scenario with real-life examples and practical solutions.

Effective Meetings: A Practical Guide helps readers identify and work within an organization’s meeting culture, design agendas that stimulate creativity and focus discussion, conduct meetings that encourage full participation and collaboration, help shape clear decisions that lead to action, deal with unhelpful meeting habits and difficult behaviours, and much more.

Geared to those who will chair board or committee meetings for community organizations, government branches, multinational corporations, religious congregations, housing co-operatives, service groups, and political associations, Partridge's strategies can be applied to almost any kind of meeting.

Bruce Partridge's Effective Meetings: A Practical Guide, produced by FriesenPress, is available for order from most major online book retailers, including the FriesenPress Bookstore and Amazon. The eBook is available for Amazon Kindle, iTunes Bookstore, Barnes and Noble's Nook, and GooglePlay.
