Managing Meetings on 24 April is a one-day workshop designed for anyone who regularly facilitates meetings and is interested in gaining a greater understanding of how to make them more effective and energetic.
Meetings are part of many people’s day to day work and yet few of us are trained to understand what happens to us in groups or how to facilitate meetings. That’s why we can often leave meetings wondering “What just happened?” - unclear what the outcome was, or feeling we didn’t get the result we wanted.
This course will help you:
- Understand and adapt your facilitation style for different types of meetings and outcomes
- Learn to recognise group roles and how these play out in meetings
- Identify ways of using assertive communication to help you manage conflict
- Get your point across effectively in 30 seconds
- Practise a toolbox of skills to help you persuade, lead and gain commitment from your team>
- Gain greater knowledge of techniques to plan for, manage and follow up meetings

Introduction to Negotiation on 25 April is a programme designed for anyone involved in everyday negotiations – it will help you understand what you can do to be more effective and achieve an even better result where small ‘wins’ can have a big impact on the bottom line.
Negotiation is not always about buying and selling. It is often about exchanging time, priorities, resources and deliverables to help things run smoothly. At work and home we negotiate lots of things daily and for the most part we do it well. But there are times when we feel we could have done better or have missed a ‘trick’.
You will learn about :
- The underpinning principles so you know when you are in a situation where negotiation is possible
- The steps involved and how to prepare for each stage
- Some useful techniques to help you trade ‘concessions’ and create a win/win outcome
- What you can do when the other side ‘plays games’
- Techniques which you can practise in a number of scenarios and a real world situation of your choosing
