1-Day Workshop

The irony of managing organisations in this technological age is that in most organisations there are more meetings, rather than less.

Meetings are becoming increasingly problematic, with attendees reporting lack of productivity, boredom, time-wasting, pettiness, frustration, conflict and irritation.

An effective meeting chairman is able to reduce all of these problems and ensure an effective, efficient and productive meeting that serves as a valuable tool for managing an organization.

Not many chairmen receive the necessary training to enable them to fulfill their role as a committee chairman effectively!

This one-day intervention aims to provide the necessary knowledge and skills to those who act as a chairman of any meeting or committee.

Outcomes

• Understand the purpose of meetings
• Ensure you are familiar with meeting terminology and formalities
• Understand the role of various office bearers
• Become familiar with required and accepted meeting conduct, formal procedures and the mechanism used to control meetings
• Learn to read the signs indicated by the body language of attendees and energise attendees
• Learn to deal with abuse of position, voting, motions, dissent, rescissions, no confidence etc.
• Understand how speakers should be accommodated at formal meetings and understand formal debating procedure.

This workshop will provide all who chair, facilitate and participate in meeting with an understanding of formal meeting processes and procedures.
