Why are Meeting Skills Essential?
Meetings with colleagues, customers and business affiliates are a day-to-day part of modern business. They are integral to the way we make connections, negotiate, build relationships, and interact on a personal level, so being able to lead value driven meetings and contribute positively and with confidence is an essential element to any role and at any level.
Meetings enable teams to share best practice, exchange ideas, learn from each other and make considered decisions. On the flipside, unplanned and poorly managed meetings negatively impact morale, engagement, productivity and results.
Chairing an effective meeting requires planning, skill and a toolkit of techniques to enable a qualitative outcome. Meeting skills training helps to develop meeting confidence and flexibility to effectively manage group dynamics, handle conflict, foster collaboration and keep participants focused on outcomes.

This Meeting Skills course is for anyone that would like to develop the fundamental skills and techniques required to plan, lead and participate in productive meetings.
