About this bitesize training course

Great meetings inspire teams and drive progress – but sometimes, they wind up wasting time and draining enthusiasm.

That’s why this course helps attendees provide and derive maximum value at every meeting they attend. They'll learn how to prepare effectively, contribute meaningfully, and ensure their time is well spent, turning tedious talk-fests into energising and productive encounters.

Participants in our bitesize Making the most of meetings training course will learn to:

  • Prepare effectively for meetings to ensure that they accomplish all they need

  • Understand the value they can contribute to meetings

  • Contribute effectively and with impact

  • Encourage collaboration and inclusion throughout the meeting

  • Help keep the meeting focused and on track

  • Develop positive body language to build rapport and credibility

  • Deliver agreed actions

Pairing suggestion: for employees likely to convene and host meetings, our bitesize Running Meetings training course contains similar concepts with a greater emphasis on agenda-setting and managing participation. We also offer a focused training session on Effective Minute Taking for those tasked with recording proceedings.
