Effective Meetings
 |
| Our ‘Effective Meetings’ training is based on the understanding that while meetings are essential to the flow of communication and to the decision making process, poorly run meetings are very often the most frustrating, de-motivating, and time consuming of work activities. Our training modules will help your managers to develop the skills needed to prepare and run effective meetings which deliver fast positive results, and which are stimulating and rewarding for those who attend. |

Workshop Style
A typical ‘Effective Meetings’ workshops includes opportunities to explore the participants experiences in terms of the meetings they attend and/or run within their work, the introduction and examination of useful ideas and techniques, and (during longer modules) the opportunity to try out new approaches – particularly chairing and running meetings to achieve given aims.
The length and content of each programme is tailored to meet the needs of individual clients although the topic lends it self well to an initial day or ½ day session to introduce useful principles, a period during which participants return to work and put learning into practice, followed by a final session based on a review of experiences and the identification of further development steps.
Programme Content
Course materials will be tailored to the needs of the group although typical content includes:
- Minimising the amount of meetings you need
- Producing action-centred agendas based on specific objectives
- Chairing meetings effectively
- Understanding when you need commitment and when you need acceptance
- Making both logical and creative decisions
- Communicating clearly and effectively within meetings
- Handling difficult participants
- Ensuring that meetings lead to positive actions
In broad terms we provide two different styles programme; either covering the basic principles of 'effective meetings' in general terms, or tailoring the content to meet the needs of the group in specific circumstances. Please contact us to discuss your requirements and we will help you identify the approach which will suit your needs.
