People at all levels of an organisation have to run meetings and they have responsibility for making the best use not only of their own time but that of the other participants too. That means learning more than just excellent meeting technique. It means involving and focusing the group, using the power of persuasion and reaching agreement constructively.

This course will enable people to organise and chair meeting that are more effective and more motivating for those that attend.
