About Us

Our History

What Works! Communications and Making Minutes were both founded in 2001. Since then, we’ve delivered our workshops and speaking programs for companies including Google, Fitbit, Cisco, WebEx, Zoom, and more. Williams-Sonoma brought Making Minutes in to create a positive cultural change. We can do the same for you. Learn how to free up an hour a day, which is 6.25 weeks a year!

What We Do

We help people to increase their productivity, efficiency, and effectiveness, while at the same time helping them to achieve a healthy life balance. Our participants walk away with strategies and commitments for becoming happier, healthier and more fulfilled.

We’ve also delivered virtual and in-person presentation skills workshops for companies including WebEx, Cisco, GoToMeeting, Genentech, and more, to help people leave their audience with a message they won’t forget.
