This workshop is not about teaching you to run “Zoom”. It is not about giving you technical ability on “Teams”. But it is specifically designed to deliver the critical skills and processes required to help you become a great leader of great meetings that produce observable and positive results – for all concerned. You will build on your confidence and ability to arrange, prepare, conduct, and follow up on meetings that will be enjoyable and help all concerned reach or exceed their goals; both individual and mutual
If you are in or aspiring to a leadership or management position, being someone who can efficaciously capture the synergies of groups and teams in the meeting forum can increase your value to the organisation immensely.
You can probably see some connections to your personal life as well.
This workshop ensures that it’s easy for you to acquire these skills and processes. More importantly, the learning methodology and included activities/assignments help you to practice for mastery, personalise to your own style and approach, and apply these skills precisely to the reality of your role and the day-to-day situations you face.
We will be using the downloadable Meetings Excellence Workbook resource; this has copies of key slides and notes, Application Exercises and Assignments to be done during and after the Workshop, Self-Assessment test for mastery, Action Plans for ongoing development and to help meet future challenges and further information with links
