Managing Meetings

Meetings are an important part of developing both the team and the performance of an organisation and this webinar explores how to get the most out of the time spent with colleagues in meetings either face to face or on conference calls.   We examine how to prepare for a meeting, what the purpose of the meeting is, how frequently meetings should be held and who should attend them.  We also explore the role of the chairperson in the meeting and how they can ensure that control is maintained and the participants achieve effective outcomes and that people commit to actions taking place.  

The Managing Meetings workshop examines seven key areas:

•          Preparing for a meeting

•          Setting the agenda

•          Ground rules

•          The role of the chairperson

•          Handling questions

•          Making decisions

•          Recording the meeting

•           

What you will get from this workshop:

This workshop is about organising and running effective and efficient meetings so that the decisions made can be turned into actions that people are held accountable and responsible for.  It enables you to identify when the meeting is going off course and how to bring it back into line with the agenda. It also explores how you manage the relationships within the meeting through the actions of the chairperson.
