Workshop Outline
Welcome and Introductions
- Welcome! Let’s see who’s here and introduce ourselves.
- We’ll start with a warm-up activity that brings to life some of the themes to come next. Plus you can copy the activity to use later in your own meetings.
Creating Rapport
- We’ll discover why it’s crucial to high-functioning teams and helps make meetings run smoothly. With examples, exercises, and feedback.
Meeting Facilitation ‘Quick Start’
- Facilitation is a profession in its own right but you can learn basic techniques to make meetings easier right now. You’ll learn and practice a simple meeting framework that keeps the team on track. With a discussion of the benefits of effective facilitation, success factors for facilitated meetings, and the facilitator’s do’s and don’t’s.
Outcome-Based Planning
- As a leader, you need the team to make progress and reach decisions during meetings. You shouldn’t have to attend each one yourself. By agreeing outcomes with the team, you can trust them to do the work and get back some hours in your day. We’ll look at well-defined outcome statements and how to get agreement from the team.
