Effective Meetings/Leading Discussions
When meetings/discussions are conducted well they are no longer or
frequent than necessary, the outcomes are clear and all concerned feel the progress
made.
Conversely, we have all experienced unnecessarily long
meetings or emerged feeling confused or frustrated or both.
This training is designed to enable delegates to learn
how to improve the planning, content, conduct and outcomes
of meetings for which they are responsible.
The course covers:
 |
Planning – objectives
and outcomes. |
|
Preparation. |
|
Conduct, including behaviours. |
|
How to maximise interest and creativity
when presenting issues. |
|
How to encourage all present to
take part. |
|
How to ask questions that lead the
discussion forward. |
|
Focussing. |
|
Summarising. |
|
Group discipline. |
The course includes role-play sessions
and examines the effects of different personalities and
their impact upon meetings and discussions.
The training also includes “brainstorming” and
how to extract maximum value from this often misunderstood
activity.
