Background: Master the art of meeting management to hold practical briefings. From this conversation, you will learn planning and leading techniques that will give you the confidence to run a meeting that will engage the attendees and leave a positive and lasting impression. In short, we will address the following objectives: planning and preparing, identifying the participants, choosing the time and place, creating the agenda, setting up the meeting space, incorporating your electronic options, meeting roles and responsibilities, using an agenda, chairing a meeting, how to deal with disruptions, professionally dealing with personality conflicts, taking minutes, and making the most of your meeting using games, activities and prices.

Scenario: You are working on your first project and have to organise and manage the project kick-off meeting. What do you do first? Do you create the agenda or the invitation list? How do you run a meeting? What preparation do you need? All of these are valid and real questions you must address as the meeting manager. There is no doubt about it; meetings require skill and technique to achieve their purpose. Disorganised and poorly managed meetings waste time and hurt your credibility as a meeting manager. Consistently leaving a poor impression on the attendees will haunt you if left unchecked.
