Effective meetings start with clear objectives and a well-organised agenda. This section teaches you how to set goals for each meeting and prepare an agenda that helps the group stay focused and aligned throughout the discussion.
A successful chair must ensure that all participants are engaged and that discussions are productive. You’ll learn how to manage group dynamics, encourage participation from all members, and ensure that quieter voices are heard without derailing the meeting.
Chairing a meeting requires authority and confidence. This section teaches you how to assert yourself as the leader of the meeting, ensuring the group remains focused and that key objectives are met without dominating the discussion.
One of the biggest challenges of chairing is managing time effectively. You will learn how to keep the meeting moving at a good pace, ensuring all items on the agenda are addressed while respecting participants' time.
A successful meeting always concludes with clear outcomes. You will learn how to summarise decisions, define action points, and ensure accountability for follow-up tasks, leaving everyone clear about next steps.
