Tips For Brainstorming
| |
| Brainstorming is one of many creative problem solving techniques. While you can use any size group, we believe it works best when done in a facilitated group of 5-10 people. The more diverse the group the more diverse the input. The group members don't need to be experts in your field. In fact, they don't need to know anything about the problem topic at all! The following steps I use in my Many Good Ideas Brainstorming Seminars: |

| An agenda planning session should occur prior to every meeting. Just as an architect wouldn't dream of showing up at a construction site without a well-thought out design, facilitators need to create their own blueprints for each session.

Sales Coaching for Business Growth
| |
| Good coaching changes behaviour. But how do you generate awareness, get them to take responsibility for their actions or lack of action, and lead the person to motivate themselves and want to change?
