Meetings are an essential part of communication across organisations, but they often suffer from being unproductive and inefficient. In fact, 71% of people have expressed dissatisfaction with the effectiveness of meetings. A well-run meeting, on the other hand, can be a powerful tool for problem-solving, generating ideas, improving communication, and moving things forward. The role of the chairperson is crucial in ensuring the success of a meeting, as they possess the necessary skills to facilitate productive discussions and create a positive environment. Benefits include:
Increased productivity
Time savings
Clear communication
Enhanced collaboration
Improved decision-making
Boosted morale
Our half-day Chairing Skills course is specifically designed to equip delegates with the confidence and professionalism needed to effectively chair meetings. Throughout the course, delegates will learn about the role of the chair, including setting outcomes, guiding discussions, managing timekeeping, handling personal dynamics, and providing feedback and monitoring. Additionally, they will develop strategies for dealing with difficult participants and encouraging participation from all individuals. The course will also focus on techniques for monitoring and obtaining feedback from participants, enabling continuous improvement in meeting quality.
