Meetings and Events Guide – OttawaValley
Meetings Events Guide & Meeting and event venues in the Ottawa Valley. Why Face to Face Meetings Matter In the age of technology, do face-to-face meetings still matter? That’s for you to decide, but here are some things you might want to consider: Body Language Communication How many times have you sent a text message or email, and someone thought you were angry or upset? We tend to forget that our body language plays a major role in our communication. Body posture and facial expressions are as important as what you say. This is lost in phone conversations and conference calls. Ensure Engagement When is the last time you sat down and talked on the phone without doing anything else? People get distracted and do other things while on the phone. Face-to-face tends to lead to better engagement. Clarify Meaning Do you ever leave a phone call still wondering what the solution was? Conference calls Meetings Events Guide The Meetings & Events Guide is published by Ottawa Valley Business Group. It is distributed locally as an e-publication, and is made available to meeting planners and associations with interest in hosting events in the Ottawa Valley. The Guide is free to obtain. Greater Efficiency Do you find phone calls can drag on forever? That’s because face-to-face meetings tend to be shorter than conference calls. When you are physically with someone in a meeting, there is a greater pressure to get straight to the point so that each party can leave in a reasonable amount of time. Over the phone, there is less urgency to be efficient and a lot of time is actually wasted with little being accomplished. How To Hold Sustainable Meetings and Events & Meeting and event venues in the Ottawa Valley. can lead to a misunderstanding within the team either due to a lack of communication or because the medium is not conducive to individuals asking for a better meaning. Drive Participation How many times have you been in a conference call and muted yourself? When everyone is in the same room, it encourages people to participate. You can't just go sit in the corner ignore or mute the meeting unlike conference calls. Consider the possibility of a paperless meeting/event. Have your caterer use china instead of paper and plastic. Consider car-pooling or walking to the venue. You could have a reward for those who do.

Caffeine Found in coffee, chocolate, energy drinks, and some medications, caffeine gives you a wake-up buzz, though the effects are short term. However, make sure you don't overdo it on caffeine as it can make you jittery and uncomfortable. Something Sweet to Drink Sugar is actually your brain's preferred fuel source, not table sugar, but glucose, which your body process from the sugars and carbs you eat. A glass of something sweet to drink can offer a short-term boost to memory, thinking and mental ability. However, make sure you don't have too much as it could impair your memory and pack on the pounds. Eat Breakfast to Fuel Your Brain Studies have proven that eating breakfast can help improve short-term memory and attention. Foods at the top of researchers' brain-fuel list include high-fiber whole grains, dairy, and fruits. Overeating at breakfast hinders your concentration. Fish Rich in omega-3 fatty acids that are key for brain health. They may play a vital role in enhancing memory, especially as we get older. It is recommended to eat two servings of fish weekly. Nuts & Chocolate Nuts and seeds are good sources of the antioxidant vitamin E, which is linked to less cognitive decline as you age. Dark chocolate also has the other powerful antioxidant properties, and it contains natural stimulants like caffeine, which can enhance focus. You can enjoy up to an ounce a day without having to worry about excess calories, sugar or fat. Avocados & Whole Grains Every organ in the body depends on blood flow, especially the heart and brain. A diet high in whole grains and fruit such as avocados can cut the risk of heart disease and lower bad cholesterol. This reduces your risk of plaque buildup and enhances blood flow, offering a simple, tasty way to fire up your brain cells. Blueberries Research in animals has shown that blueberries may protect the brain from damaged cause by free radicals and may reduce the effects of age-related conditions such as Alzheimer's disease or dementia. It's All About Balancing Aim for a well balanced diet full of a wide variety of healthy foods. If your diet lacks essential nutrients, it can hurt your ability to concentrate. Eating too much or too little can also interfere with your focus. Why Drive Here When You Can Fly!

Email an agenda Create the appropriate atmosphere, dress appropriately and act appropriately. 24 hours in advance. Short and structured meetings get things done. One single hour can make a difference on your planning, so you really need to anticipate time frames. Start and end on time. Set expectations carefully, then deliver. Meetings that are run properly save time, increase motivation and productivity and solve problems. Attitude is contagious. If you’re cranky, it will catch on. Create a budget. Get all of your agreements (venue, caterers, etc.) in writing. Tents would be a smart idea for an outdoor event as the weather is unpredictable. Build a 10% contingency into your budget for unexpected expenses. Follow-up by email within 24 hours. Challenge ideas rather than people. Book everything you need in advance to avoid disappointment. Don’t procrastinate. Effective meetings will keep your employees coming back. Arrive 5 minute early. Make Your Meetings Memorable The Ottawa Valley has many activities that you can add to your meeting or event. Whether it’s land or water, winter or summer, you can hike, paddle, ski, tour or more! www.travelourbackyard.com Our website hosts magazines of local activities for all seasons.
