Conducting Effective Meetings
Building agendas and leading meetings are valuable
contributions to accomplishing the strategic
plan of the organization


WHO SHOULD ATTEND

This program is for managers, leaders, and facilitators who are interested in building and implementing powerful agendas for meetings in their organizations.

OVERVIEW

This workshop will help you better appreciate meetings as one of the greatest opportunities in any organization. Unfortunately, they are often wasted opportunities. Obviously, meetings give you the chance to accomplish their stated purpose but they also provide the time and settings to enhance the corporate culture, build stronger relationships among colleagues and use the collective wisdom of those gathered.

The tendency to crunch the agenda to get in and out as quickly as possible is often built on the belief that the "real work" is done outside of a meeting. But meetings should be considered "real work" as they can make a solid contribution.

Meetings can:

• Help people work more effectively together both inside and outside of the meeting;

• Build a climate in which people are willing to take risks for the sake of the organization;

• Move participants toward greater clarity about the mission and vision of the organization;

• Allow the potential synergy in the group to surface and flourish.

LEARNING OUTCOMES
Participants in this two-day workshop will explore the components of effective meetings and enhance their abilities to utilize meetings as an integral part of the strategy for accomplishing their organizational vision.

Participants will:

• Enhance their ability to create and clearly articulate the purpose of the meeting;

• Become familiar with resources and methods for building stronger working relationships among meeting participants;

• Broaden their perspective on the purposes of meetings to include clarity of mission and vision, impact of corporate culture and day-to-day efforts and creative problem solving;

• Practice leading a meeting segment and receive feedback on their efforts;

• Explore ways to use time in between meetings to lay groundwork for effective meeting time.
