Course description

Leading Effective Meetings 101
Fundamental skills for beginners
When people first start to run their own meetings, they are often unsure of what success looks like. They’ve watched co-workers run meetings, but they may or may not have been exposed to truly effective meeting facilitation.
Those who are new to running meetings may fail to set an agenda and struggle to keep the meeting on track. They are frequently uncomfortable and nervous, unsure of the tools, or shaky on how to field questions on the fly. The result? Unproductive meetings where nobody knows the next steps and little gets accomplished.
Leading Effective Meetings 101 provides fundamental training for novice employees. We teach participants to speak confidently, make sure everyone knows what they’re there to accomplish and why, engage meeting attendees, set appropriate next steps, manage the direction and flow of the conversation, and more. As a result, attendees will leave being more confident and effective meeting facilitators, and business results will be achieved.
Throughout the class, participants apply the principles of The Orderly Conversation® to their own real-life internal meetings. Each attendee’s audience may vary – from small or large in-person groups to remote or hybrid environments.
Leading Effective Meetings 101 includes access to eCoach – our program for pre-work and post-workshop performance support. Participants receive reusable job aids and reference materials to help them apply what they learn in class to the 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.
