Effective Meetings & Building Relations
This workshop is one of the Core Four skill-sets to help working professionals improve the
effectiveness of their communication.
According to some of the most recent literature, many managers and working professionals
feel that 35 to 45 % of all the meetings they attend are a waste of time. On average, this
translates to between 12 to 15 days a year for each meeting participant. This is unfortunate
when you consider meetings are the main venue where people get together to exchange
ideas, get updated, and make decisions in most organizations.
The general feedback as to why some meetings are considered a waste of time is due to: long
discussions with no conclusion, low attendance or too may have been invited, uneven participation, unwilling to ask questions and the list goes on.
This workshop is designed to show participants how to run effective meetings where people
feel meetings are an investment of time and not a waste of time.
Participants will:
‣learn to use a simple and concrete agenda for meetings
‣learn to use and implement 9 fundamentals to running effective meetings
