Meetings are the life-blood of any organisation. It is the way in which we connect with each other, make decisions and solve problems. However, many meetings are often unstructured, time-wasting and frustrating. This is often because meeting leaders and participants lack clear, easy processes and structure to make their meetings more efficient. Key’s training in Meetings Skills helps you learn what you can do, as a leader or as a participant, to make your meetings more effective and successful. Because this training is based in your own reality, you learn, for example, how to prepare a real meeting agenda to ensure success and how to conduct a meeting so that you achieve the desired results. Additionally, we look at how you can best follow up on meetings so that important decisions are implemented, relationships improved and productivity increased.
WHAT ISSUES DOES THIS TRAINING ADDRESS?
- How can we be more organised in our meetings and achieve better results?
- How can we make meetings more enjoyable and less frustrating?
- How can we develop a meeting culture that is so efficient that it reduces the number of meetings that we have?
WHAT ARE THE OUTPUTS OF THE TRAINING?
By the end of the training, you will:
- Know how to improve the quality of your meetings
- Have the tools you need to prepare, conduct, follow through and participate in meetings
- Increase understanding of how all can play a positive role and make meetings more productive
- Prepare an agenda for a real, up-coming meeting
- Understand various methods of decision-making and how to choose the relevant method to enable you to achieve your goals
DESIGNED ACCORDING TO YOUR NEEDS AND GOALS
Together with you, we look at your needs and goals. Based on this, we suggest the most efficient way to deliver this training. It can be, for example, intensive workshops, on-going individual coaching, consultation or project work.
