In the US alone, it has been estimated that the cost of unnecessary meetings and wasted time is over $35 billion!
Many executives feel overwhelmed by meetings, and no wonder: On average, they spend nearly 23 hours a week in them, up from less than 10 hours in the 1960s. Moreover, the meetings are often poorly timed, badly run, or both. Quote from Harvard Revue 2017. 
Our Managing Meetings workshop looks at the common reasons for meetings that give some attendees little or no value. It identifies the efficiency killers and works to understand what causes each issue and what possible solutions we can come up with to discuss and plan to experiment with back in the workplace. 
During the day, we invite every member to play a crucial role, conduct a meeting, and analyse the short meeting. Once we have done this, we collaboratively plan the next version of the meeting and use some of the tools we incorporate into the day to feel the impact and reap the benefits. Your input is invaluable as we do not work in your environment.
By following the meeting structure and guidelines we provide, you will not only enjoy efficient and effective meetings, but also see a significant boost in productivity and a reduction in unnecessary meeting time. The benefits are real and tangible.





LENGTH - Normally one day. But please get in touch with us to discuss your specific needs, or we can offer advice.  
NEXT WORKSHOP START - Please ask for more information as we deliver bespoke closed events for your people at your location or a mutually suitable location.
WORKSHOP DELIVERY - The best environment for this workshop is face-to-face, but we can facilitate this workshop online.



Suitability - Who should attend?
Who Should Attend and Why?
Who? - This is generally for Leaders and Managers so they can pass on the skills and tools to ensure their direct reports learn how to manage an efficient and effective meeting.
Why? Meetings are expensive. You only have to take a weekly meeting you attend, calculate the time by each person's hourly pay, and then sit down to recover.
Inefficient meetings waste time and money and frequently annoy people. They can also badly affect their productivity, and then they get told off for not being more productive!
Help your people be more efficient in meetings. Get what’s required out of each one and stop the ones that are not required at all.
Workshop Content
Why is Emotional Intelligence a key aspect of how we approach meetings?
What are the main reasons for planning or being invited to a meeting?
How do we plan the time required for a meeting?
What do we do in a meeting, and in what order?
How do we know when someone is talking too much, and what can be done about it?
How can we make each person's time at a meeting more efficient?
How can we ensure all the points from the last meeting were actioned before the next meeting?
We look at our Meeting Structure and Attendee Roles to help manage future meetings.
Workshop delivery and venue
When you consider the content we deliver, we are sure you will understand why we always prefer to deliver our workshops, courses and programmes face-to-face.
Face-to-face workshops and courses can be held at a location of your choice or, if you wish, a central UK location, such as the Macdonald Burlington Hotel in Birmingham, located directly across from the Birmingham New Street train station.
We can deliver our workshops, courses and programmes online, although this will mean splitting elements into manageable learning events to suit the online environment.

What you will get from this 60-minute session:
A roadmap for effective meetings
The confidence to facilitate, whether you are chairing or participating
Relief that meetings can be a valuable use of your time
How we will do it:
Understanding the core components of good and bad meetings

Learning 6 powerful questions for structuring a meeting well
Exploring how to keep meetings on track and hold people to account in diplomatic ways
Personalised action planning for your own meetings
This online session is designed to be as interactive or passive as you wish. You are most welcome to ask questions, share challenges and discuss your ideas. You are equally welcome to join with your camera off and just listen in.

Meet your trainer:
Hi, I’m Gemma Perella; a Personal Development Trainer and founder of The Self Leadership Initiative. The SLI is all about helping you to develop young leaders.

As a teenager in 2006 I stumbled across a leadership training programme that changed my life. I went from an introverted outsider to a confident and driven educator. Ever since, my mission has been inspiring and empowering young people to become the best versions of themselves.

Over the last 10 years I've been working with organisations that support young people. I deliver interactive and practical training programmes to equip students with the kinds of skills ‘they don’t teach you in school’ in order to help them become the confident, resilient and emotionally intelligent leaders that the world needs.
