Making Your Mark in Meetings equips participants with the skills to ensure they are a positive presence during meetings. It introduces delegates to preparation and delivery techniques that will make them more visible and effective meetings members. Whether offering a contribution via Zoom or answering questions in a face-to-face meeting setting, the webinar imparts tips that will help delegates become clear, concise and useful contributors.

Outcomes

By the end of the webinar, delegates will know how to:

• Make pre-meeting small talk so they feel comfortable and have forged connections before the meeting actually begins

• Handle questions calmly, succinctly and intelligently

• Pose questions that get answers

• Project information – look around the table, use the face and voice to enhance key messages / points

• Present themselves in the best light. Literally, for virtual meetings

• Manage interruptions and rude behaviour
