HAPPY MEETINGS, HAPPY PEOPLE

Have you ever found yourself 20 minutes into a meeting and realized you have no idea why you’re there? Meetings can be powerful leadership tools. But if run poorly, they can drive people crazy. In SNP’s Meeting Facilitation course, participants use work-based scenarios to practice tactics for running meetings that keep people happy—whether they’re in person or remote. The coaching combines several methodologies and disciplines, covering: scheduling, agenda-setting, facilitation skills, and coming up with next steps. You’ll leave the class with a framework for facilitating meetings that run efficiently and provide attendees with clear assignments and expectations.
