For the beginning of this year, I would
like to further aid you in your
professional development by sharing some great things from last year
and a few things planned for this year. Also, I want to thank many
people for their support of me in expanding my training and development
endeavors to multiple people and companies.
Coming in March, is the most exciting news.
My book "R.A!R.A!
A Meeting Wizard's Approach" will be
available on Amazon.com.
This book is a must-have guide that demonstrates effective meeting planning
and management. It
presents an approach to more
effective meetings called R.A!R.A!. It should do for meetings what Six Sigma did for
Quality. I hope you enjoy the book and call me
if you need a facilitator.
NOTE: If a DFW area
organization orders 10 or more copies of R.A!R.A! book, I will be
happy to come on-site for a personal book signing.
See side-bar on right for more info
on book.

Lee has tapped into the most vital part of communication. She provides tools
for clarity and value driven meetings. She understands what it takes to move
ideas into action, problems into solutions and a format for new ideas and
their implementation. She has produced a book that is a much needed tool in
any company that desires clear, concise communication. Every company and

“Lousy meetings contribute to lousy results. If your meetings leave
something to be desired, follow the steps in this book.”
- Randy Pennington, Author of Results Rule! Build a Culture that Blows the Competition
Away
“All of us struggle with better managing our valuable time so that
we invest it in the best ways to achieve our goals. While many are
essential, meetings are one of the biggest killers of our time. There are so
many pitfalls with meetings that gobble up time. To our rescue is Shirley
Lee's book, which even uses a metaphoric wizard icon for conveying not only
the need for using many skills but also the near magic needed to manage time
invested in meetings. This is a clever and high-payback read that I highly
recommend.”
- Michael J. English, Coauthor of Winning the Knowledge Transfer Race and Benchmarking for Best Practices

session, that ran twice as long as it needed to, or that got taken over by a
verbal bully? If so, you need this book. The author offers clear
recommendations on exactly what to say and do to run a productive meeting
that is beneficial for all involved."
