A session developed for Chairs, who want to understand the mechanics and develop knowledge and skills around the people side of meetings

About this event

This two-hour session has been developed for Chairs, who want to develop their knowledge and skills around the people side of meetings.

Set in the virtual world, the programme covers a range of topics focussed on techniques which can encourage participation. The course also features ideas on how to manage over-participation, together with some input around team dynamics.

The workshop complements the LGIU’s “Chairing Virtual Meetings” programme.

By the end of the session, delegates will be able to:

  • Create an environment which encourages participation
