About this course

A report from BetterMeetings.org found that professionals (from the UK, Germany, and the USA) spend 2 hours a week in pointless meetings, which added up to over $541bn worth of resources in 2019.

BetterMeetings also found that two-thirds of professionals feel that face-to-face meetings make it easier to make important decisions and help them understand other peoples’ opinions and arguments better. So it’s crucial that the meetings staff do attend are both effective and efficient.

Our Effective Meetings Training will help staff to understand how they can contribute to a meeting to help make it effective, offer practical tips on how they can add and gain value
from each meeting they participate in, whilst also explaining meeting etiquette.

The presentation was clear, easy to follow and used realistic examples. It has equipped me with extra skills on how I can be more productive in meetings.

Very good, missing examples

Very good training, maybe even better with more examples of DOs and DONTs
