Course Overview

Do you know why meetings have a bad reputation? It is estimated that Fortune 500 companies waste $75 million per year in unproductive meeting time. Poorly run meetings take too long, involve too many people, and don’t seem to result in any concrete action. Despite this, meetings are necessary and can be extremely effective if run properly. Meetings that are planned and facilitated well give participants a sense of accomplishment and the knowledge that their time was well spent. This course will give you the skills and strategies needed to manage meetings efficiently and effectively.

Completing this course will help you:

  • Recognize when a meeting should be held and identify its purpose
  • Identify and implement the tools needed to manage effective meetings
  • Examine effective facilitation skills that ensure a meeting ends with actionable items

We will identify the purpose of meetings and the importance of establishing an agenda.
