What is Effective Meetings Training?
In order that meetings can be seen as being positive and productive, they need to be effective. Badly planned meetings will be a waste of time by attendees. The high cost of meetings is often another cause for concern and should be considered when organising meetings.
This Effective Meetings training course examines the common mistakes which are made and how to avoid them. We will show how to make your meetings more purposeful, as well as developing your skills to keep meetings on-track. We discuss the importance and roles of the chairperson and minute taker. Learn how to gain co-operation from attendees, manage any conflict, or attendees who are disruptive or cynical; together with how to make logical decisions and action planning.

Effective Meetings Training Course Overview
The course divides the subject of meetings into parts, and we tackle them one at a time.
Meetings are costly. And some meetings are a waste of time. We need meetings to be cost effective. All cost-effective meetings share a set of common attributes. What are they? They are well chaired, well organised, well prepared, well attended, well recorded and productive, (in the sense that they achieve the purpose for which they were originally called).
The above list suggests the content for the course: We investigate the role of the Chair; how to organise an effective meeting, by means of a good agenda; how to manage the attendees, some of whom do not always behave well; how to keep accurate records of the meeting; how to ensure the meeting achieves its purpose. The purpose of a meeting may be to exchange information, to solve a problem, or make a decision, or any combination of the three.
We will solve all these problems and finish the course with a full understanding of how to create a highly productive meeting.
Learning Outcomes:
- Learn the skills for super effective meetings
- Meetings need to be purposeful - goal focused conversations
- Plan the meeting by agreeing an agenda
- Communicate clearly, using specific language
- Quickly manage conflict and distracting behaviour
- Manage the railroader, the cynic, clown and broken record
- Have the courage to make a logical decision
