Workshop

Facilitating Better Meetings

 
 

Lead your team with ease through productive, constructive meetings

The Details

Facilitating your team through weekly meetings, debriefs, kick-offs, and reviews can be daunting. Making room for each team member’s contributions, having an audience as bystanders, being asked tough questions, thinking on your feet, and moving the conversation forward - these are challenges that require specific skills and practice. 

In this workshop, we will develop strategies to handle these situations with more comfort, curiosity, and courage. Each participant has the opportunity to practice in front of the group for feedback and coaching. 

Agenda: 

  • Start and end the meeting with clarity 

  • How to set and reinforce clear guidelines for productive conversations 

  • Facilitation techniques for moving the conversation forward, diffusing tension, pulling in people who haven’t been heard, interrupting those who dominate 

The end result is that facilitators feel less out of control and more in control. An added bonus is the group experience provides the team with a shared language for effective meetings. 

Class Size: up to 25 participants 

Format: 90 minutes virtual; 2 hours in person
