Topic

 Do you facilitate meetings? This class will help you be more effective, efficient and inclusive at the same time! A continuation of our free info class, this class will refine and offer practice opportunities with 4 extra topics and 3 small group exercises.
  • What are the steps of decision-making? How does one move a group towards a decision so everyone ‘walks’ together?
  • What are the tricks of good agendas? How can we hold agenda planning together and make sure we’re staying on track?
  • How can we keep meetings time short and sweet?
  • How can we write proposals together in a timely manner so everyone’s ideas can flow into a proposal?
Small group exercises:
  • Planning an agenda
  • Write proposals together
  • How to improve meetings together over time
