Leading Effective Meetings Training Session

Leading Effective Meetings
Training session with Corey Bonnema from Organizational Effectiveness
Wednesday, July 21 9 a.m. - noon
Room 50 Willey Hall

As an employee or manager, you probably spend a lot of time in meetings.  How can you make the most of that time? This session will look at planning and facilitation techniques to ensure your meetings are productive. We'll be using a John Cleese video called, "Meetings, Bloody Meetings"  to have some fun while also learning how meetings can be improved. Participants who attend this session will:

-  Understand the importance of ground rules and learn different methods for creating them
-  Learn how to plan and effectively facilitate meetings
-  Learn why an agenda is such a valuable tool to use in meetings
-  Discuss roles and strategies for productive participation and learn how to deal with common problems that occur in meetings.

This training is open to anyone in CLA and is free of charge. Email Kelly O'Brien at obrie136@umn.edu to register.
