Course description
Leading Effective Meetings 201
Advanced skills for managers
Leading Effective Meetings 201 is a mastery-level workshop for managers who want to “reset” meeting culture with their teams. In some cases, managers have inherited a team with ineffective meeting skills and behaviors. In other cases, the managers may have failed to set proper expectations, leading to meetings that tend to go sideways.
This workshop is designed to help participants be effective role models for their teams. They will learn how to foster team collaboration and frame meetings so everyone understands their responsibilities, what is to be accomplished, and why. We also advise how to coach their direct reports for long-term improved meeting culture.
Throughout the class, participants apply the principles of The Orderly Conversation® and examine their role in fostering team collaboration during meetings.
Leading Effective Meetings 201 includes pre-work and access to eCoach. Participants receive reusable job aids and reference materials to help them apply what they learn in class to situations they face outside of it.
All Turpin Workshops are highly customized to your organization’s and employees’ specific goals and challenges and can be delivered virtually or on-site.

I think pointing out what specific tools we can use to help each individual person was beneficial (eye contact vs. pause).
Loved the matrix - I will try using this before my next meeting.
