Effective Meetings
One of the most common complaints is that meetings waste so much time. How many times do we arrive at meetings not knowing why we are there or what we are expected to contribute?
Often we leave meetings feeling frustrated that not all the items planned for discussion were covered, that certain individuals seemed to have dominated the discussions and that no recognisable outcome was established.
This workshop enables participants to assess their current approach to meetings, focus on the interpersonal skills needed to manage meetings successfully and identify the most appropriate ways of influencing others so that all meeting participants make an effective contribution.
Our half-day and one-day workshops show how to plan and manage meetings to turn them from a time drain into an effective time management tool.
Key Outcomes
- Planning for different types of meeting
- Understanding the elements involved in running effective meetings
