This programme is available In-House and currently delivered through virtual classroom training.

We all know that meetings are a valuable and necessary way to collaborate and draw on the best of what all employees can offer to progress the aims and objectives of the organisation. Using this time in the most efficient way possible is a critical business skill.

Recent surveys of office employees determined that on average four hours of their working time per week was spent in meetings. This figure doubled for managers and supervisors. They all estimated that over half this time was unproductive and wasted.

In our programme we will show you how to build the skills necessary to ensure that all meetings you lead are productive, effective and get the best from all those who participate.

Who are the tutors?

How do we train and support you?

Expand/Collapse Expand/Collapse

Building on over 30 years’ experience in human resource learning and development; the Tutor utilizes an experiential learning approach to their programmes.  This methodology of learning provides an opportunity for learners to engage with, experience and apply the learning in a practical way and also provides the opportunity for learners to receive feedback on their newly applied skills.  The opportunity is also provided to learners to reflect on the full learning experience and how this might be of value to them in the achievement of their learning goals.

To assist and continue with skills development, we facilitate via email a post learning reflective practice utilising skills practice sessions recorded during the course. This assists delegates in embedding new learning, gives further support and enables them to define any further actions required.

This programme offers one to one or group coaching as an additional element to further support the delegate and embed the learning process.
