Why Effective Meetings?
Employees often experience meetings as boring and lengthy sessions where the desired results are not achieved. This leads to unresolved agenda items, agreements without clear follow-up, and unmotivated participants. Take the Effective Meetings course and the problems occurring in your meetings will be exposed and addressed. Do you sometimes feel during meetings that your time could have been spent more usefully? Do participants talk past each other and is the desired goal not achieved? Then the Effective Meetings course is for you and your team.
Good meeting practices are an art that, when mastered by participants, yield great results. Meetings become more efficient, effective, and pleasant for the participants. During this course, a Spraakwater trainer analyzes where the pain points and thus the challenges for you and your organization lie. We then tackle these challenges purposefully.
