Most people have a love-hate relationship with company or business meetings, because they know the importance of meetings, yet find that their meetings usually tend to tie up more time than it is worth the effort to attend.  This usually typical of people who often have to attend many meetings, but find that little is discussed or resolved during these meetings. 

Most people have a love-hate relationship with company or business meetings, because they know the importance of meetings, yet find that their meetings usually tend to tie up more time than it is worth the effort to attend.  This usually typical of people who often have to attend many meetings, but find that little is discussed or resolved during these meetings.

Meetings can come in all shapes and sizes, from the convention to a quick huddle in an office hallway or the conversation next to the water cooler.  However, when it is a scheduled and formal meeting, without effective planning steps a meeting can dissolve into chaos and accomplish nothing. A well planned meeting possesses the ability to move your team forward to meet well developed goals.

Meeting Management: The Art of Making Meetings Work© is a one-day program that addressed the finer points of small working meetings--with groups that have a job to do requiring the energy, commitment, and talents of those who participate.  Members of such a group want to get  results out of their time together, usually by solving problems, setting goals or priorities, or simply defining with each other some mutual needs and fears and hopes.  At its best, such a group knows what it is about, and knows and utilises the strengths of individual members.

This workshop provides you with the ability to recognise the steps that are critically necessary to make the most of a meeting.  By giving members the ability to:

	Recognize the critical planning steps that make meeting time more effective.
	Identify the steps to take to create an open and safe forum for discussion.
	Develop and practice techniques for handling counterproductive behaviour.
	Know how to make decisions that can be sustained once the meeting is over.

One important aspect of the program shows you practical techniques for effectively handling counterproductive behaviour that could make it difficult to achieve your meeting goals, so that the focus of the members is always on track.  We will also identify the steps that are necessary in order to create an environment that is safe and open for discussion.

Today meetings are moving away from an instruction environment and into an environment that is facilitated, and where with input and feedback welcomed.   Are you creating the type of meeting environment that will encourage input from members, and use the collective wisdom of the team to solve problems and make decisions that will boost company performance and meet the challenges of doing business today?
