Before the Meeting
Well prepared meetings are focused, purposeful and effective. Learn how to prepare the meeting in advance with agendas, S.M.A.R.T. goals and some basic ground rules.

During the Meeting
In order to achieve the objectives of the meeting it’s important to stick to the agenda and set up action items. Learn tips on setting up action items and assigning responsibility during the meeting. Hear how to summarize and capture the key points of the meeting through meeting minutes. Learn the basics of Robert’s Rules of Order to govern your meetings.

It’s crucial to follow-up after the meeting to confirm and clarify action items. Often the follow up is overlooked and the information from the meeting is lost amongst competing priorities. We will review how to make the follow-up effective by including deadlines and stakeholders.
