Running effective meetings
This effective meetings training course empowers professionals to achieve far more together than they could on their own. Discover and learn to use a toolkit of techniques to make any meeting more effective, and move your projects and relationships forward.
Overview
Most of us spend much of our working lives in meetings.
When they work well, they move everyone forward. They help us share information, solve problems, make decisions and agree actions. But when they don’t, they can quickly become a source of frustration.
Poor meetings waste more than just time. They delay decisions, create confusion and slow or even block progress.
Whether they’re in person or online, bad meetings tend to suffer from at least one of several common problems. Perhaps the purpose is unclear or the discussion drifts off topic. Key people may fail to contribute, while others dominate. Or no one is certain about what’s supposed to happen next.
The good news is that it doesn’t have to be that way.
The tools to fix them
Learning a range of simple techniques can make a huge difference. Together, these ensure not just that meetings go well but that they achieve far more than any one person could on their own. This course empowers learners with all these tools, so they can finally make meetings work.
Outcomes
All our in-house courses are tailored to the client’s needs. But typically, learners will discover how to:
- decide when and when not to meet
- set objectives for progress and an agenda that works
- choose the right structure
- maximise attendance
- address the most common meeting challenges
- encourage contributions and build inclusivity
- move meetings forward
- keep to time
- continue the conversation and drive action afterwards.
