Make Meetings Matter

No purpose meetings with little structure, allowing for meandering discussions dominated by the same people are in nobodies interest, whether in the room or online. You deserve it to yourself and your people to make better use of the time you spend together.

You will:

Know how to structure the meeting content with clear aims, preparation, flow and output
Be able to use two facilitation techniques to ensure that everyone has a voice
Be able to use ‘yes…if’ and ‘yes…and’ consulting tools to open up the discussion and explore points of view
Consider how to translate these tools to a virtual meeting and be clearer about how you can guarantee engagement from everyone, with cameras on

Maximise One-To-Ones

One-to-Ones provide the chance for innovation, coaching, goal setting, career discussion, feedback and progress monitoring. As a manager, they are among the most important interactions you can have with your team members and it pays dividends to plan and lead them well.

Optimise Engagement

If you ask what it takes for people to feel engaged, they talk about recognition, opportunity, challenge and meaning. It’s rare for someone to mention money. Engagement is a result of people feeling intrinsically driven to perform and there is a lot that managers can do to help build it.

Fantastic Facilitation

The aim of a facilitator is to create an open and energised environment within which people can share, challenge, generate and plan. To master it, you’ll need the awareness of a conductor, the spontaneity of an improvisor and the gravitas of a head teacher. Get ready to practise.
