Press Release Summary: How often do we hear groaning at the thought of attending
another meeting? Meetings are mandatory to make business more productive and
profitable, but only if we make the most of the time spent. Find out how to make
the most of meeting time in an audio conference with Shirley Fine Lee, author of
book R.A! R.A! A Meeting Wizard\'s Approach.

Press Release Body: In the United States, there are more than 11 million formal
meetings per day. Studies show that meeting costs range from $30 million to over
$100 million per year. And yet so many meetings turn out to be a huge waste of time.

Think about it: How often is groaning at the thought of attending another meeting
heard? And why must even the most gung-ho employees be bribed with free food and
coffee to give them a reason to attend a meeting?

The bottom line is that meetings are one of the best communication methods for
making business more productive and profitable. Business managers, company
directors, corporate executives, team leaders, and supervisors should understand
that productivity and profitability are results only if the most is made of the time
spent planning and attending these meetings.

On Thursday, August 28, 2008 from 12:30PM-2:00 Central Time (10:30AM-1:00 Pacific,
