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 is the workshop 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:

	Explore the principles of effective meetings and meeting types
	State the seven deadly sins and the steps to nirvana when planning and managing a meeting
	Provide you with methods to open up meetings and contract with participants to maximise participation and engagement
	Give you tools and methods to develop agendas and surface hidden agendas
	Explore interventions to manage difficult behaviours and conflict in meetings
	Demonstrate tools to match a range of meeting objectives, including problem exploration and collaborative decision making 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.

If you want to improve the enjoyment and effectiveness of the team, unit, service or departmental meetings that you run then call us and we can assure you that you and your meetings will never be the same again!
