Zzzz - !!!! - ????
Aren’t these three of the most appropriate punctuation marks that greet members at a meeting or a discussion before, during and after the proceedings?
Fret no more. This one-day lively workshop will get you organising a meeting with precision, hosting it with pride and concluding it with professionalism. Practical ways to turn a dull (zzzz) session into a useful and lively (!!!!) discourse that ends with everyone never doubting (????) what they need to do, or to follow up before the next meeting, if needed.
Let DR SUNNY GOH - discussion facilitator, staff secretary, meeting member and board chairman - who has been on both the giving and receiving end of meeting routines and complaints, relieve you of your despair - from preparation to discussion to progression. In his long career, Sunny has witnessed red tape and red faces where discussions could have filled pages of meaningless minutes, as well as brief discussions where small yet significant details were neglected.
It takes just a day (minus the zzzz, !!!! and ????) for this compressed workshop to show you how to organise, host or facilitate (or all three) successful meetings and/or discussions using office techniques and practical hosting and facilitation skills that make them effective and productive.

Testimonial
"Sunny made meetings and technical writing look easy. Not an easy task when we have too much info and too little space." Chapman International (Oct 2018)
"I half expect the course to be boring, and the other half to be difficult. Sunny made both ends meaningful." PA (June 2017)
"Sunny is a clever facilitator - knows when to give, when to keep - good for those of us dealing with meeting overload." PUB (Mar 2016)

Dr. Sunny Goh's Profile
Dr Sunny Goh is a Trainer of Trainers (TOT) and has taught many writing coaches to teach writing programmes he has designed for government servants and private sector officers. He was head of the International directorate in Mindef's Defence Policy Office, where he has written Cab Memos, budget papers and presented Singapore’s position at international fora. He was a member of the SAF Scholars Selection Board and chairman of a university’s Resource Panel.
He was also a Desk Editor at The Straits Times, where he taught reporting and interviewing skills at its School of Journalism. In all, his participants had included CEOs, professors, staff writers, technical specialists, undergraduates and students. It doesn’t matter how high a participant’s work status may be - all that mattered is a penchant for learning.
As a volunteer, he was a Mediator with the Ministry of Law, a Council Member of the Singapore Red Cross Society and writes regularly for the local and regional media. And, oh yes, he was co-founder of an attractive English Premier League supporters club in Singapore that neither don red nor blue.
