MANAGING MEETINGS

Register your interest in a public group session

We understand individuals and small businesses may not have the resources to book an exclusive group or one-to-one session, so we operate a wait list system. Give us you contact details and when enough people have registered their interest we'll be in touch to organise a date. For most sessions you'll be alongside (virtually that is) no more than five other trainees.

Organise an in-house private course

This is the way most organisations choose to work with us. You get to choose the workshop, nominate who you want to sit the session, fix a time and date that suits everyone and decide whether you want online or in-person delivery. We do the rest – even down to tweaking the training to match your specific needs. All we need is a bit of information about you so click the organise button to get the ball rolling.

Anyone who has to manage or facilitate a meeting or a group discussion, whether it's public or private and with or without an audience. 

CONTENT 

This practical course focuses on the characteristics and responsibilities of facilitators and managers in team meetings. In addition, we cover the verbal and non-verbal strategies a facilitator can use to ensure full participation among team members and how to properly ask questions, offer feedback, and record information. By the end of the course delegates should appreciate the importance of and the correct way to prepare for facilitation, the most effective way to guide a meeting, and the best way to achieve sustainable results. Specifically, they should understand how to assess a team's situation and needs, how to apply structural tools to make a meeting successful, and how to ensure that every team member participates. The course should enable delegates to:

• Apply strategies to help teams move from divergent to convergent thinking
• Use structural tools to enhance their role as a facilitator
• Use strategies to facilitate a team during each of its stages
• Apply methods to use consensus effectively
• Open and close a meeting effectively
• Differentiate between facilitation and leadership
• Apply behaviours to succeed as a facilitator
• Enhance your credibility as a facilitator using neutrality
• Apply techniques to show assertiveness during a meeting
• Apply guidelines for asking appropriate questions and offering appropriate feedback.
