Overview
A well-organised meeting runs like a well-oiled machine - everything happens smoothly and correctly. It takes someone who understands the importance of the organiser or convenor's role.
The minute-taking role is crucial because it records the topics covered, the decisions made, and the major factors that contributed to these decisions. That record often has legislative and/or legal ramifications so it has to be done correctly and compliantly.
Most people dislike minute-taking. This workshop demonstrates that it does not have to be burdensome. It may not be fun, but it can be rewarding.
David Price has been running workshops for minute-taking, agendas and meeting organisation for over 35 years throughout Australia and overseas. As an author of 4 books on meetings he knows his stuff.
This is a jam-packed half-day workshop.

Facilitator
About the facilitator
The first thing you notice about David is that he is not tall. This has worked to his advantage as he had to work harder to make himself ‘look tall’ in the eyes of others, in the way he speaks and in his executive presence. For over 35 years, he has been helping people at all levels walk tall whenever they speak, lead or participate in a meeting or interact with colleagues. Presence isn’t just about how you communicate with your voice, it’s also about when to keep quiet, and how to exude confidence and inspire others.
With 35 years of training, coaching and facilitating, you get experience, knowledge, and wisdom. That means you and your people are safe in his hands.
You know you’ve found your ideal career niche when you enjoy doing the things most people avoid, such as ‘public speaking’ and immersing yourself in ‘detailed meeting procedures’.
David’s training methods are based on real-life experience. He learnt through experience the best techniques to become more confident by constantly developing high level communication skills.
David is regularly hired as a facilitator and as an Independent Chair for difficult meetings. The skills required to command the room in these situations require all of David’s skillsets. He has written books on meeting procedures and presentation skills. When it’s imperative you get a positive outcome for your presentation, ideation, or meetings, you can rely on David’s vast knowledge and 35+ years of experience to help you achieve these goals.
David has formal qualifications in education, technology, governance, law and mediation.
With David, you'll learn, you'll laugh, you'll learn some more!
