Workshop:
Meaningful meetings – Meeting madness or meeting magic
Overview
High-level communication and planning skills are the magic ingredients in meaningful meetings.
No-one likes to have their day disrupted by a meeting that doesn’t achieve anything. Too much time is wasted every day due to poorly planned and managed meetings.
Time really is money in business, meeting time is precious time in a busy business day. If every meeting you attended was professionally run, achieved an outcome and was an enjoyable experience perhaps more people would turn up, prepare well and contribute more enthusiastically.
So what does it take to run a successful meeting? Our Masterclass will share with you all about meeting leadership and how to ensure your meetings are the ones that people in your organisation look forward to attending.
We also add a dash of assertiveness and personal leadership, other magic ingredients needed to be an effective meeting facilitator.
