Effective Business Meeting Practice that Motivates for Great Results
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
Leaders, managers at all levels, and top talent in the organization that want to improve their business meeting competency so that they can get the very best results from their leadership, teams and colleagues in pursuit of the organization’s goals.
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Meetings are a part of everyday life and a necessary part of any functioning organization. A business meeting is a group of people who come together because of a (supposedly) common goal but can if not effectively managed, be quite a frustrating, stressful and non-productive experience. Poor performance in any meeting means lost trust and confidence (slow progress) demotivated teams and missed targets. Mastery of effective business meeting practice is vital for effective leader and leadership and driving personal and organizational growth.
Business Meeting Skills is a very practical and proven approach to effective business meeting practice that covers all aspects of the meeting process with particular emphasis given to preparation and implementation (placement and style) as it is in these areas that we see most business meeting facilitation fail. The program takes a holistic view of business meeting practice and introduces the delegate to the knowledge, skills and attitude required to confidently and properly approach any meeting and produce drive and focus for great results.
The program is well researched, knowledge-based and designed with the individual learner at the centre of the learning process which means that the course is extremely interactive and practical.
