About This Live Webinar

Great meetings don’t happen by accident. They’re designed.

Most professionals spend hours in meetings each week, yet too many of those meetings end without clear outcomes, full participation or a good use of anyone’s time.

In this interactive 60-minute webinar, participants will explore the four stages of meeting facilitation (Preparing, Initiating, Facilitating and Closing). They’ll identify the most common challenges at each stage and try out simple techniques to prevent or resolve them, whether a meeting is virtual, in person or hybrid.

Participants will leave with a practical toolkit they can use in their very next meeting to save time, engage every voice, and drive decisions and follow-through.
