When asked to list typical time
wasters at work, employees often put meetings at the top of their
list. Poorly planned and conducted meetings can rob an organization
of valuable productivity and leave meeting attendees feeling
frustrated. Facilitating effective meetings requires preparation,
skill, focus, and practice.
This interactive workshop is
designed to help supervisors, managers, team leaders, and employees
plan for and conduct meetings that are well-organized,
time-efficient and productive. Participants will gain confidence in
leading groups to consensus and dealing with difficult behaviors
sometimes exhibited by individuals in attendance at meetings.
Skills gained will enhance participants’ self-confidence in their
role as a meeting leader, contribute favorably to overall
organizational goals and outcomes, and earn the leader respect as an
effective meeting facilitator.
