Welcome to Meeting Skills

Meetings are an inescapable part of professional life, and can serve a valuable purpose – from resolving issues to motivating employees. It’s important, therefore, that we know how to structure our meetings effectively.

The Meeting Skills course will provide the learner with the skills they need to plan a meeting, identify objectives, prepare an agenda and put an appropriate structure in place. We’ll also demonstrate how to use control techniques to improve the productivity of meetings, and the best approaches to summarising agreement and minute-taking. The course can be used in conjunction with the course on Effective Minute Writing which can also be found in the Kaya catalogue.
