Confident Meetings Management: A Masterclass

Whatever the size of the projects you manage, you have to have meetings. And being the person who confidently chairs a meeting that is useful, finishes on time and that has people smiling (even at the end) is a way to set yourself apart from the rest of the crowd.

How many meetings have you sat in, wondering why you are even there? Or have you watched as a chair struggled to assert leadership and direct the conversation?

In this masterclass, you’ll learn tips earned from my 10+ years of chairing meetings, from the time I burst into tears of frustration to the workshops where we’ve all left the room on a high.

Your calendar doesn’t have to be filled with meetings, but you will need some. Whether you meet virtually or face-to-face, this masterclass will equip you to go forward and run fantastic meetings, every time.

The challenge with managing meetings is that every project, every company and every meeting is slightly different depending on who is in the room and what you’re talking about.

But there are some good practices and habits that mean you can go into any meeting confident to facilitate the discussion and get to a good resolution.

And as this is a topic that comes up time and time again in my mentoring calls, I’ve put together a one-off training session about it.

In this masterclass you’ll learn:

• Common types of meetings and which ones you can cancel today
• How to cope when you haven’t got time for meetings but still need to get people together
• How to run an efficient meeting without draining all your energy
• How to overcome 3 common fears about being in the Chair.

Plus listen into the questions and answers raised during the session from real project managers with challenges just like your own. Let’s see if we can get your meetings working better and taking up less time!

• Icebreaker dice for engaging beginnings
• Pre- and post-meeting checklists
