In collaborative efforts, good meetings are a vehicle for moving your work forward – they help you make plans and decisions, share information, think together about tough issues, explore and resolve tensions, and build relationships and trust. If you are responsible for organizing and leading meetings in your organization or in a collaboration, you know the challenge of juggling the different needs, agenda items, and personalities.

This training will strengthen your skills to plan and facilitate meetings so they make better use of time, are more joyful, and lead to greater impact.

Join a small group of leaders working on sustainability, environmental and conservation issues for a highly interactive, learning opportunity to build your meeting planning and facilitation skills. You will walk away with knowledge, tools and tactics to use in the meetings you lead and participate in. You’ll also network and learn with peers from the region.

By the end of the workshop, participants will increase their skills and abilities to:

• Assume the facilitator role and navigate the dynamics of facilitating within an ongoing collaboration
• Design and plan a meeting to maximize its effectiveness
• Confidently manage and support a room of meeting participants to enable them to do their best work
• Minimize the common problems that derail meeting

You’ll also engage with a network of peers to gain practical examples and ongoing support.
