At my company, I ran a very productive meeting and received a very nice compliment from a Senior Vice President.  As the Business Continuity Coordinator, it is my job to maintain our Disaster Plan as well as to keep the Crisis Management Team updated on it. I recently held a meeting to discuss changes to the plan and to get a convenient date from the team for a test of the plan. My meeting was scheduled for 1/2 hour. I wrote my agenda on a flip chart and we ran through it item by item. We completed the agenda including date selection in 20 minutes. As people were filing out, one of the Senior Vice Presidents on the team turned to me and said, "Mike, your Toastmaster's training really shows."
