Effective Meeting Management

Meetings should move work forward—not drain energy, derail focus, or drag on without results. Effective Meeting Management gives leaders practical tools to plan, facilitate, and follow through on meetings that are focused, purposeful, and worth the time.

Participants learn how to align meetings to clear outcomes—whether they’re making decisions, generating ideas, solving problems, or communicating updates. They’ll explore common meeting pitfalls (like unclear agendas, off-topic tangents, or disengaged participants) and practice techniques to manage airtime, drive clarity, and encourage productive participation.

This course is ideal for leaders, facilitators, or team members who regularly lead meetings and want to build better habits, stronger engagement, and clearer follow-through.

After this course, participants will:

• Design meetings that align with a clear purpose and outcome
• Choose the right structure for different meeting types (ideation, decision-making, etc.)
• Manage meeting dynamics and keep discussions focused
• Avoid common derailers that waste time or erode trust
• Follow through effectively, turning discussion into action
