How many times have you left a meeting and thought, ‘What was that about?’ And could it be when you have sat in a meeting and asked yourself, ‘Why am I here?’ or ‘Why is this taking so long?’ Or you have simply said, ‘I am so bored sitting here and I feel sleepy.’ None of these is your fault, but it could be that we have made a particular meeting to try to fit into a type that we have always been used to and not varied them.

The Effective Business Meetings training event will ensure that participants are able to run meetings well, which in turn can result in highly productive and motivating experience for the attendees of their meetings. Participants will be taught on how to overcome the pitfalls of poor meeting management by showing them how to deliberately plan for success. They will also be engaged with the utilisation of targeted communication skills.

At the workshop, amongst other topics, the participants will learn:

• The more than 10 different types of business meetings
