BRAVE Meetings

Meeting culture, it can drive us all crazy.

Do you want the right meetings for the right reasons with the right people?

Let us show you how structure and discipline will help make precious meeting time more energizing, productive and cost-effective. 

Make decisions stick.

Do You:

  • Want to create a culture that embraces and challenges what’s included in a meeting? Reducing the time-wasting items?
  • Want to identify how you can ‘generously exclude’ attendees so you have the right voices in the room (credit to Priya Parker for that phrase)
  • Need more discipline in moving from discussion to decision-making

 

Then…’BRAVE MEETINGS’ is for you!

  • Our aim is to make sure you leave with practical tools and techniques to enable you to change how you run meetings
  • You’ll leave the course feeling that you can do it, that you’re making progress and feeling brave as a result of being able to practice in a safe environment

This is a 3 hour session, delivered virtually on Microsoft Teams

What we will cover 

  1. Assessment:
    Identify time and energy blockers. 

  2. Outcomes:
    Set clear purpose, boundaries and outcomes for your meetings. 

  3. Structure and Discipline:
    Learn how to use structure and discipline to elevate your meetings.

  4. Accountability:
    Techniques for more efficient and accountable decision making.

What You Need To Know Before You Attend

It’s an interactive, virtual 3-hour session with an opportunity for you to apply the tools to your real-life situations.

That means we will be asking you to contribute so make sure you’re able to do that in a way that’s best for you.

Please be aware we’ll ask you to keep your camera on as much as possible. It really helps the conversations, the group and the trainers.

We know it can be hard to speak up and be on screen with lots of people, so we keep the group size smaller for that reason.

What You Need To Do Before You Attend

  • Think about what energises and derails the meetings you attend – and maybe how sometimes you contribute to both these things.  No judgement, we can all be derailers at times!
  • How prepared are you to make the changes back in the workplace?  Do you need to engage more people in the discussion?  Who might that be?
  • Find some quiet space to join the session
  • Reduce your distractions as much as possible – it’s only 60 minutes and so you’ll get the best out of the session by being focussed
  • Come along ready to contribute and engage with the topic
