Target Audience and Duration:

This full-day class is for anyone who plans and runs meetings. The first part of the class addresses planning and structuring a meeting to make it effective. The second part acquaints participants with a variety of facilitation techniques. Either part can be offered independently as a stand-alone half-day session.

After completing this class, participants will:

• Understand how to effectively structure meetings to get the results you want;
• Understand key elements that make meetings work; and
• Become familiar with a variety of facilitation techniques; and
• Understand common problems that arise in meetings, how to prevent these problems when possible or deal with them when necessary.

The class itself is run as a meeting. We use the process of the class to identify and demonstrate key concepts and to try a variety of techniques.
