It's a phrase plenty of meeting planners have heard before: "meetings are boring." It's often true, but it doesn't have to be. What needs to change so that the audience is excited, engaged — and not tempted to check email? For this episode of Eventful: The Podcast for Meeting Professionals, sponsored by Wynn Resorts, we speak with a pair of experts on busting up the typical boring meeting. They offer tips on how to connect with attendees and create an event that will not only hold their interest, but have them talking about what they learned long after the event is over. The guests for this episode are: Lain Hensley, co-owner and head dream chaser of Odyssey Teams, Inc., who founded the company to create teambuilding and CSR experiences for companies of all kinds. Dianne Devitt, founder and owner of The DND Group and author of What Color Is Your Event?, has decades of experience in helping clients deliver their best and cut through the noise of a typical gathering.
You Go First with Lain Hensley is a podcast that brings together speakers, authors, and industry leaders to help you go first in your life. This episode features Dr. Robii Dotson. The list of his accomplishments is ridiculous. He's a motivational speaker, lecturer, educator, consultant, as well as an author, psychologist, and was the first black radio host in the LA area. He's also a behavioral scientist, counselor, professor and academic adviser. From the slums of Shreveport, Louisiana and abject poverty to working for two Presidents. Robii has the keys to success and shares them whenever possible. Robii managed a billion dollar budget for the Pentagon and developed the Missile Defense Programs for the US military. If that's not enough, he has a calming presence and his voice is as captivating as his methodology. His take on human personality factors and why we are the way we are is worth a listen, followed by action!
