About this event

Make every meeting count. Learn to manage time, agendas, and people with ease and clarity.

Overview

Meetings often consume time without delivering much in return. This course offers a straightforward and sensible approach to making meetings more purposeful, timely, and tolerable—perhaps even enjoyable. From understanding the hidden cost of every gathering to shaping agendas that actually achieve something, this course is a must for anyone who has ever questioned why they’re in the room.

You'll explore various types of meetings, when to schedule them (and when not to), and how to lead them so participants don’t mentally check out before coffee arrives. With clear guidance on after-meeting actions like writing minutes that don’t bore the soul, this course offers relief to anyone stuck in the meeting loop. Consider it a sanity-saving guide to ensuring your meetings are not just events, but engines of progress.
