Chairing International Meetings
Planning and managing meetings to achieve your aims.
Effective chairing is key to any successful meeting. An effective chair allows people to contribute, ensures everyone understands the discussion and gets decisions made within the time available. So why is it that so many people who chair never receive any training?
A chair needs to understand the rules, written and unwritten, which govern how a meeting should be run. In today’s environment this may take place face to face or indeed remotely, which adds another challenge to managing often complex issues as a chair. In addition, an effective chair needs to understand and be aware of cultural differences between people. For instance does everyone at the meeting have the same expectations of what an effective outcome is? On this course participants review the essential knowledge and skills needed to plan and effectively steer every meeting to a positive outcome.
