Our Proof T estimonial "At one time in our organization you could hear employees constantly stating we had too many meetings. We did not excel at communications as one would expect as a direct result of so many meetings! Then we met Bruce Honig with Honig IdeaGuides. Bruce taught us through the "Leading Effective Meetings" workshop, how to make our meetings more productive. By being more productive and structured in our meeting process, we found it did not take as many meetings to achieve our goals. The meetings may not have decreased, but the nature of the meetings have changed and we are achieving many more goals on our continuous improvement project lists! The "Leading Effective Meetings" method has become a standard operating procedure for our organization which we will train on a continuous basis. We look forward to a long, healthy, productive working relationship with Honig IdeaGuides." Lori Bassett, Vice President Human Resources, Pergo, Inc. Information Questions?
