There are many reasons why most meetings suck.
- No clear outcomes or agenda
- Dominating personalities
- No follow-up accountability
- Information overload
- Conflict or conflict avoidance
What if we told you each one of those issues is avoidable and that you could fix it?
The answer is meeting skills.
Facilitators get paid to make meetings seem like magic using a secret bag of tricks that only they have. Our goal is to bring these skills to anyone who leads or participates in meetings.
What You'll Learn
- A quick collaborative decision-making process you can use in nearly any meeting
- Basic meeting management techniques
- Navigating conflict and complexity
- Meeting agreements (aka ground rules)
- Energizers (aka icebreakers)
- Planning and preparation
- Designing an engaging agenda
- Getting to action and following through Advanced collaborative brainstorming and/or decision-making techniques (as time allows)
Putting It Into Practice
This is a highly participatory workshop. We avoid long lectures and focus on experiential learning. Before each workshop, we will assign you episodes of the podcast to listen to (less than 30 minutes). During the workshop, you’ll have the opportunity to work individually and in small groups on things like meeting management techniques, brainstorming activities, and navigating conflict. There will also be short practice assignments between each session to encourage you to integrate the lessons right away. Before each session, we’ll reflect on what worked and what you learned.
