Meaningful meetings - Meeting madness or meeting magic
-
$5900 INC GST
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.
Anyone who is involved in planning or leading internal or external meetings in a business context and wishes to achieve intended outcomes in a timely and effective manner. Please note: this workshop does not cover meeting governance.
This course can be contextualised for your workplace needs and target group.
Relevant training materials and handouts will be provided to all attendees

Although I have immersed myself in powerful presenting for over 30 years, I recently completed my master’s research which dug deeper into leadership communication and storytelling in a business context. There was much discussion and debate about what defines an expert and who I could reference during my research. It really got me thinking about […]
No need to avoid presenting any longer You have been asked to present at your next industry conference. Woohoo!! Or maybe not. The thought of standing in front of 400 people is terrifying and the self-talk starts in your head. I have no idea how to put together a presentation, what was I thinking? No […]
No-one is born with engaging meeting, training or presenting skills. Unfortunately, many employees find themselves standing in front of a room full of their work colleagues at the morning toolbox meeting feeling nervous, inadequate and poorly equipped to handle the disengaged audience in front of them. There is an art, science and skill to running […]
Over the last few weeks, in response to the Corona Virus, we have seen an unprecedented surge of online meetings and presentations. For some organisations the availability of technology has been a lifesaver or business saver and for others it has created a new playground for wasted time, unproductive meetings and risky brand strategy. For […]
Ever had presentation tears? Tears you shed for that awful presentation that didn’t really hit the mark.  In fact, you bombed. The one when the audience went really quiet after you spoke then everyone avoided any eye contact with you. The one when you felt so embarrassed and wondered what on earth went wrong. You planned, you rehearsed your presentation and you […]
THE RISE OF FOLLOWERSHIP In Praise of Followers – Robert Kelley stated in his Harvard Business Review article that effective followers are well-balanced and responsible adults who can succeed without strong leadership. I never really considered ‘followership’ as a leadership theory. In fact, many do not consider followership as a leadership theory at all. I […]
Thanks to neuroscience we have learned a lot over the past few years about just how powerful stories can be. We now know which brain chemicals cause us to pay attention and which chemicals help us to connect with others. A great story releases a rush of brain chemicals like Cortisol (which helps you to […]
