Poorly run meetings are one of the biggest drains on productivity in Australian organisations, costing billions of dollars each year in wasted time. While meetings are essential for decision-making, problem-solving, and collaboration, they often become unproductive when there is no clear structure, purpose, or active participation. Without the right meeting management skills, organisations risk losing valuable time, energy, and focus.
Running and Participating in Effective Meetings training equips participants with the practical skills to plan, lead, and contribute to productive meetings—both in-person and virtual. Participants learn how to create clear agendas, keep discussions on track, encourage participation, manage difficult behaviours, and ensure strong follow-through after meetings. By the end of the course, participants will be able to run efficient, outcome-focused meetings that save time, improve decision-making, and deliver real business results.
