Are your meetings too often a waste of time and even dysfunctional? They can be engaging and fruitful! The skills of the meeting leader make the difference. Transform your meetings into positive, productive discussions that drive results and achieve your organization’s objectives.
Creative Learning Solutions’ Facilitation Training for Meeting Leaders is for you if you lead meetings at any level of your organization and want to make them more productive. Our trainings teach you how to foster greater working trust among meeting participants, real problem-solving rather than conflict, higher creativity and innovation, and ultimately a more effective and enjoyable workplace.
Here’s what you will learn:
- Planning the meeting:
- Getting the right people invested in advance
- Developing a compelling agenda that is results-driven
- Facilitation skills:
- Starting a meeting by creating agreements and ground rules
- Tools for thinking together and getting everyone’s input
- Tools for creativity and innovation
- Decision-making approaches
- Group dynamics, roles, and functions
- Dealing with emotions in meetings—yours and theirs
- Dealing with meeting challenges: sideline discussions, disruptive behaviors, authority issues, hidden agendas, groupthink, conflict
- Keeping meeting participants on track, focused, and engaged
- Closing the meeting with commitments to address action items
- Facilitating virtual meetings
- Follow-up: making sure that agreements and plans are carried out
Our Facilitation Training for Meeting Leaders includes role-plays and practice with feedback. Each participant receives a Meeting Leader’s Guide that includes templates for everything from planning to evaluation of meetings. We offer follow-up coaching, consulting, and observation with feedback.
