Ever heard yourself saying?

"Most meetings I attend are a complete waste of my time"
"The agenda is not clear, we get side tracked and dominant people get all the air time – what’s the point of going back?"
"We sit there for hours, run over and still don’t seem to make progress and achieve anything…"

"I don't enjoy meetings that I attend and I'm the chair!"

If you want to make sure that people leave your meetings having felt included, having understood how decisions were made, feeling satisfied that progress has been made and even enjoyed themselves...then Agenda to Action could be for you!

What is it?

This one day programme has been designed to help you to plan and keep meetings on track. Whether you are facilitating, chairing or leading a meeting it will:

	introduce you to the principles of effective meeting design
	cover the seven steps to success when beginning a meeting
	provide you with methods to break the ice, warm up the participants and contract with them
	give you tools and methods to develop agendas, surface hidden agendas and possible conflicts of interest
	give you tools, techniques to manage difficult behaviours and situations in meetings
	demonstrate tools to match meeting objectives and give you the opportunity to use them.

All in all you will have a chance to explore how to manage the people, the process and the product of the group with flair, fun and flexibility.
