Although many people feel meetings are a waste of time, they continue to be one of the most effective ways for teams to share information, present ideas and make decisions. Yet, employees cite “too many meetings” as one of the top reasons for lost productivity at work.
Meetings account for nearly 15% of an employee’s time and closer to 45% for those in leadership roles. Employees agree that more than half of their meetings are unproductive and ineffective.
So, how can you make your meetings matter? The secret is in the planning and facilitation.
This course will teach you how to plan and lead informative and engaging meetings that people want to attend. You will gain back control of your meetings, turning them into valuable tools for communicating, collaborating and accomplishing real work.
By the end of this session, you will:
- Understand the role that structure and planning play on meeting efficiency
- Learn a process for creating an effective agenda
- Discover the secret to achieving productive discussions
- Learn how to maximize participation — increasing buy-in, accountability and follow-through
- Identify common time-wasters and develop strategies to deal with them
- Respond appropriately when the discussion goes off track or is hijacked by a participant

Health Protocols for In-Person Classes
The health and safety of all visitors, students, trainers and staff is our top priority.
NLC uses targeted cleaning protocols in our Training Room and office space.
- Any person who is feeling unwell or suspects they have been exposed to contagious illness is asked to refrain from attending in-person training events.
- COVID-19: If you are not feeling well on the day of your training or are aware of exposure (within the previous 10 days) to someone who has tested positive for COVID-19, we ask that you cancel or reschedule your visit with us, whether or not you appear to be experiencing symptoms of illness.
- If you need to cancel for this reason, please notify us, and we will be happy to provide program credit equivalent to the registration fees already paid.
