More about Rhonda

Professional Speaker, Trainer, Author and Consultant Insightful… humorous… entertaining…even contagious… words that are often used to describe Rhonda Scharf. A speaker with the uncanny ability to look at the normal and see something quite different.

Rhonda will share some things she has learned to help you thrive in your work environment, emerging at the end of the day with a smile and a sense of accomplishment. Audiences far and wide sing her praises for her relevant and useful tips on administration, communication, and workplace effectiveness! Rhonda is an author, speaker, trainer, and grandmother! She has earned her Certified Speaking Professional (less than 7% of all speakers worldwide have earned this designation), is a member of the Canadian Speaking Hall of Fame, and is one of only 35 speakers worldwide who have earned their Global Speaking Fellow (meaning she truly has an international business), and been awarded the Spirit of CAPS award. She is the only speaker in the entire world who has earned all four awards. Her natural warmth and sincerity are balanced by a healthy sense of the absurd, a combination that is useful in any situation.

Rhonda’s professional speaking career began at age two… when her mother would offer her 25 cents to be quiet for five minutes!

I’ve been teaching Minute Taking Made Easy since 1998. The program is fully guaranteed and I’m always humbled when I hear how my training has helped thousands of administrative professionals save time, reduce stress and even get promotions. I am told my training is considered #1 in the industry worldwide.

For administrative professionals who want to save time, reduce stress and take quick, accurate minutes.

What are the learning objectives?

• What should Minutes contain? (and why)
• What should they NOT contain? (and why not)
• Roles of the Minute Taker and the legalities entailed
• The importance of accurate Minutes
• Avoid the “Bob said” “Mary said” challenge
• What is going to matter after the meeting? Get rid of extraneous details and conversation

How does this work?

• Rhonda will courier you all the materials you need to attend the workshop (workbook along with a few other surprises).

• We host the workshop online in a virtual Zoom room (secure and safe) • You will receive the recording for 60 days following the workshop

• Rhonda will be your coach for an entire year (she will edit your minutes, answer your questions, ensure you are comfortable taking minutes)

• The session is divided into two, three-hour sessions (delivered on different days to avoid Zoom fatigue)

• Fully interactive: we use breakout rooms and open discussions (small attendance to ensure that everyone has time to ask all their questions). You will be taking minutes during this workshop!

• Day One covers all the “What you need to know” in the workshop, while Day Two focuses on the “Application” of that information (what it looks like, how to do it, the real-world implementation side of taking Minutes)
