			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Facilitating difficult meetings is similar to herding cats. Attendees have diverse opinions and want their opinion to be taken on board. That’s where TpEBO comes in. TpEBO&#8217;s role as facilitator is to ask the right questions and generate engaging conversations amongst attendees so that tangible outcomes come from the meeting.</p>
<p>Believe it or not, 90% of the work takes place before the meeting. We work closely with the client to gain an understanding of what is really needed. What is the best use of attendees’ time? What are the issues facing the people in the room? Who will be in the room and why? What do we want to achieve in a short space of time?</p>
<p>Meetings are intense ranging  from 1 hour to 3 days for large and small groups, face to face and in virtual  environments. Sessions are practical and structured to provoke thought  and designed so attendees face the hard questions early on.</p>
<p>Once a common issue has been identified,TpEBO works on aligning thinking and what actions attendees need to take once the meeting is over.</p>
<p>We are down to earth and operate in a low-key way; this allows you, the client to take credit for a wonderful session! Be warned&#8230;we will challenge you to ensure that your meeting is as productive and effective as possible.</p>
<p>Feel free to talk to us about your needs for professional facilitator and rapporteur services. <a href="http://tpebo.com/site/services/online-registration/">Contact us here.</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>A: Bit by bit</h2>
<p>Overwhelmed by your to-do list<br />
1. Get a pen and a page, divide it into 4.<br />
2. Allocate one of these headings into each panel -</p>
<h2>Urgent; Important; Planned; Ad-hoc</h2>
<p>3. Write down ALL of the things that you have to do &#8211; decide if it is urgent, important, planned or ad hoc and put it into the relevant panel<br />
4. Review.</p>
<p>What do you want to achieve? What&#8217;s the purpose of this list? What can you delegate? What can you ignore or dump? What one action will make a huge difference to your level of performance?<br />
The list may look like alot, if you review it&#8217;s purpose, rewrite it if you need to and chunk it down into small pieces, it is possible to manage your to-do&#8217;s effectively and perform at a higher level.</p>
<p>5. Rewrite the list and allocate dates (Tip: We use Astrid and google calendar and it&#8217;s great)</p>
<p>If you want more tips &#8211; join us at our free teleseminar on Thursday 1st September 9.30 am BST / 10.30 CET. <strong><a href="http://tpebo.com/site/services/online-registration/" target="_blank">Register here</a> </strong>and we&#8217;ll send you the details!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are reports of another economic downturn making it difficult for you to focus on your goals for 2012? Are you finding it difficult to define your goals? Do the challenges you face seem overwhelming and confusing? The TpEBO Focus 2012 workshops can help you address these challenges.</p>
<p>I know you are busy and (like most of us who run our own organisations and teams) are coming to the end of a year full of change and turbulence. Feedback from our client base indicates that some teams are finding it challenging to finalise their business plans. They are questioning whether 2012 is the right time to take action and grow; maintain the current structure; or downsize the business.</p>
<p>TpEBO has organised a series of Focus 2012 workshops to help business owners and teams identify and concentrate on priorities for 2012.  After five hours of coaching, plus some additional time spent on fieldwork, you will be clear on your direction for 2012.</p>
<p>I will personally facilitate the sessions; you will be challenged and need to dedicate time to focus on the important issues your business is facing. I know what it is like to lead an organisation; have experienced the ups and downs of business; and understand what it’s like to operate in a turbulent market. </p>
<p>If you speak Italian, Spanish or French my colleague Alessandra Corradini will deliver these sessions online or in person.</p>
<p>There are three ways you and your organisation can participate in Focus 2012. </p>
<p>Option 1: Group Webinars<br />
Jan 10<br />
5 sessions; 60 minutes; 5 weeks € 200<br />
Max: 12 attendees</p>
<p>Group Webinar Schedule<br />
January 2012 9.30am GMT /10.30am CET 10th, 17th, 24th, 31st January, 7th February<br />
Note: Recorded sessions and downloads are available after each session. There is fieldwork (about an hour between sessions) to help you get the most out of the programe.</p>
<p>Option 2: Team Webinars (bespoke) :<br />
Timed to suit the team needs<br />

<p>A closing thought:<br />
Steve Jobs said, &#8216;do what you love and it will make a difference. Do it full force in the face of nay sayers and obstacles. What are you thinking about? What is your vision? What are you working on? How are you turning your hard work into reality? When you are done, who will it impact for a life-time?&#8217;</p>
<p>With best wishes</p>
<p>Sinead</p>
