Chairing effective and productive meetings

Whether you chair internal meetings, an organisation, a health board, or committee or would like to, everyone agrees that chairing meetings can be challenging and is a skill few of us ever receive training for.

Being an effective chair requires a clear understanding of the role, time to prepare and the ability to communicate and listen effectively, stimulate discussion, remain objective, ensure all views are considered and ensure that timely decision making takes place.

Whether you are newly appointed or a long-standing chair that would like to develop or improve your chairing skills, this three-hour online workshop delivered by an experienced facilitator and trainer with extensive experience of chairing meetings, organisations and partnerships is for you.

The workshop is designed to be interactive and will be delivered as a blend of theory and group work and will cover:

• Preparing for meetings
• Key skills for chairing effective meetings
• How to create meeting environments where everyone can participate
• Summing up and articulating and confirming actions
• Hints and tips for dealing with difficult meeting behaviours.

Free for delegates with a package of support from PCC. All other places are charged at £175 excluding VAT.
