Half-Day Meeting Management Training — Core Skills for Meetings That Actually Get Things Done
In three focused hours, this workshop gives managers, team leaders and meeting chairs the planning frameworks, chairing techniques and follow-through accountability tools to run meetings that are shorter, sharper and more productive — without a full day away from the business.
Delivered in-house, tailored to your organisation and meeting culture. Immediately applicable from the very next meeting they chair.

What Delegates and Organisations Gain From This Workshop

Half-Day Meeting Management Workshop Outline
Delegates explore why meetings fail and the real cost to organisations. They learn to identify the right meeting type for each situation, when an asynchronous alternative is more effective, and practise planning meetings using SMART objectives and focused agendas with the right people in the room.
Delegates practise chairing meetings that stay on time and on topic, apply the DACI framework for clear owned decisions, manage dominant voices professionally, and leave with a personal meeting improvement checklist — ready to apply from the very next meeting they chair.
