‘Let’s have a vMeeting’
Meetings happen with people in the same room. For many years get2thepoint has been facilitating productive gatherings of all sorts, everywhere. With Think Productive we are now also passing on our skills so other people can do it too. Our book Meeting Together and the 5Ps+1 model offer a way of combining the art and craft of any meeting.
Now we’re going to help people transform every virtual meeting they’re part of. Conference calls (eg on Skype), videoconferences, webinars, instant messaging ... and hey yes it will free for all on vMeeting.org This is a team effort with Amy and Leah (San Francisco), Lois (London) and Graham (of Think Productive).
Skills training in Universities in India
Get2thepoint is talking with academic institutions in and around New Delhi about delivering training which would help students in those professional situations in which they will need to communicate personally and effectively - interview skills, the giving of presentations, working within teams (such as chairing and participating in meetings), getting and staying well organised and handling the difficult conversations which inevitably arise from time to time with colleagues and external stakeholders.
Building Effective Partnerships for the International Humanitarian Sector
The Partnership Consultancy is a joint project with Simon Loveday (K2 Leadership) and Neil Casey (Wildgoose). We believe The future for the International Humanitarian Sector lies in partnerships. Projects are getting bigger; resources are shrinking; donors are favouring alliances and coalitions.
We also know that partnership is not an easy option! How do you reconcile differing styles, methods, and values? How do you exercise leadership without formal structures? How do you ensure that all partners have an equal voice? And when you have to, how do you hold the difficult conversations?
Successful partnerships aren’t just about strategy – they’re also about building trust and developing relationships.
That’s how we can help. We are a partnership. We know what it’s like. We understand the sector. We have many years of experience. And we want you to succeed! For a no obligation conversation contact Martin.
