Course Customisation

Please note that this course is customisable, so you can focus on learning the skills that are most important to you.

Benefits

There is nothing more soul destroying, or de-motivating, than attending a badly-prepared meeting! Yet, effective meetings are a vital element of good communication, and, when run properly, are invaluable for gaining commitment, raising morale, increasing productivity, generating new ideas, and resolving problems.

The purpose of this course is to ensure delegates understand the business principles behind holding meetings, and to provide them with the skills needed to plan and partake in more effective meetings which result in positive outcomes.

Who Is It For?

Anyone who needs to plan, organise or run an effective meeting.

Objectives

By the end of the training you will be able to…

  • Describe the key reasons for holding a meeting (and when they are not the best solution).
  • Plan a meeting (so the purpose is advertised and the attendees know why they are invited).
  • Set a meaningful and realistic agenda.
  • Actively partake in a meeting and ensure actions are followed up.

Course Content

  • Key questions to ask when planning a meeting…
    • Is it necessary?
    • What is the purpose?
    • What is the desired outcome?
    • Who needs to attend?
  • Roles and responsibilities (such as the Chair and Minute Taker).
  • Creating an objective-based agenda (and sticking to it during the meeting).
  • The importance of developing effective listening skills.
  • Building rapport, reaching agreement and assigning actions.
  • Keeping to time (and what to do if it’s taking too long).
  • Recording the decisions made and the assignment of tasks (an introduction to note taking and minute taking).
  • Following up afterwards and assessing outcomes.
