Course description
Meeting Management and Facilitation for the Petroleum Industry – MMF
Meetings remain a boon or curse to corporate communication. Properly planned and managed, meetings are extremely positive and dynamic ways to exchange ideas, shape policy, resolve problems, effect change, etc. However, when poorly designed and implemented, meetings accomplish little. They become virtual breeding grounds for confusion, tension, frustration, boredom, and negativity. This course is for petroleum industry professionals who plan and conduct meetings. During this interactive 2-day session, participants will learn how to perfect meeting facilitation skills; master meeting agenda design skills; and polish meeting communication skills so that they'll be able to run meetings efficiently, effectively, and smoothly. Participants will be given ample opportunity to practice what they're learning in class and to receive feedback about those areas of meeting management and facilitation they do well and those areas that they'll need to improve.
