Managing Meetings Training Workshop
The Managing Meetings Inhouse Training Course packs a lot of punch. Think of how many wasted minutes and hours occur during the stock standard meetings.
Let’s pretend you’re an alien named Zog just landed on planet earth and I’ll explain the business meeting process. After some time on Earth, Zog curiously asks someone how the business meeting process works, and here was the reply:
“Ok here’s how we human get stuff happening. First step, we call a meeting. People rock up with no clue as to what the meeting is about. In fact, many people don’t even leave the meeting room, as they seemed to have grown roots in the meeting room. Then we await for everyone to show. Normally a bit of idle chatter but mostly people are on their phones. Then 20 minutes later, the meeting starts. Usually, someone says before we start “lets go back a bit”. So then we begin the meeting from behind. Just as we’re about to get to the starting point someone alerts us that the meeting has ran over. So that’s how we get stuff done here on Earth Zog.”
Zog’s response “Beam me outta here right now! This place is stuffed!”
We recommend a tailored Managing Meetings Skills Training workshop. It would be designed to equip you with the skills needed to facilitate effective and efficient meetings. Learn how to structure agendas, prepare for meetings, delegate responsibilities, and manage time effectively.
