Overview

Meetings are a significant investment of time and money for any organisation - so it's important to make sure that when they do happen, they represent a worthwhile return on that investment and don't simply get in the way of everyone doing their job. Setting clear objectives, asking questions, creating a positive atmosphere and ending on a high are all part of leading great meetings that maximise everyone's contributions and reach a constructive conclusion. This short course shows how to lead meetings in a way that boosts creativity, encourages collaboration and achieves positive outcomes for everyone.
