Meetings are essential in the successful management of business activities, but too often time and effort is wasted at meetings which are not well prepared, have no clear purpose and where attendees fail to participate in making decisions.

Inefficient meetings result in notices like these displayed offices:

Within any large organisation, hundreds of meetings take place every day and they are often viewed by staff as a waste of time. But even the smallest organisation would soon grind to a halt if meetings didn’t happen.

This course will equip participants with the techniques they might use to plan and control a productive meeting that will be appreciated by your staff.

Who will benefit: Anyone who chairs meetings and wants to make them structured and meaningful.

Duration: 1 day

By the end of the managing meetings course delegates will be able to...

• make meetings shorter and more productive
• have clear guidelines for the preparation and structure
• decide the purpose and draw up an agenda
• apply skills in chairing and leading meetings
• ensure effective participation
• maintain control
• handle difficult people or situations
• take decisions which are appreciated by participants

“The length of a meeting rises with the square of the number of people present.”

Our courses consist of 'In-Company' training; we visit companies’ premises or hotels and run courses according to company and staff needs.

We do not run training courses for people from different companies to attend. However, we do run courses consisting of one or two delegates. This enables us to move at the pace of the delegates (as fast or slow as necessary; as deep into the subject as appropriate, and with as much development as possible). These are not as expensive as you might think!
