Well run meetings save time and help to make teams and organisations effective.

Traditional training often offers cumbersome frameworks that are difficult to implement within a busy schedule. This course, for anybody who has to chair meetings, offers a workable model and practical guidance in drawing contributions and managing difficult dynamics.

Attendees of our Running meetings training course will learn how to…

• Challenge the need to hold a meeting in the first place (hooray!)

• Understand the preparation required before and during the meeting

• Use different kinds of meeting structure to ensure a brilliant outcome

• Set up the meeting to encourage contribution and commitment

• ‘CRAFT’ the meeting to achieve the stated outcome required

• Manage the dynamics of a meeting to draw contributions from quieter participants and manage the enthusiasm of dominant contributors

• Gain commitment to action

Pairing suggestion: for employees more likely to be attending meetings than leading them, our Making the Most of Meetings training course is designed to provide similar tactics for effective and constructive participation. Our Making Hybrid Meetings Work training provides additional methods for convening effectively virtually.
