Currently, many meetings are held online but there is still a process to be put in place if the meeting is to be effective and in this episode, Julie explains exactly what the process is and how to facilitate an effective meeting where the objectives are met and there is the forward progress.

To have an effective meeting the decision about the purpose of the meeting is key

Is it a meeting to share information, for communication, for consultation or to make decisions once this has been decided following Julie’s advice and process will ensure any meeting is effective.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Share with everyone prior to the meeting the purpose for having the meeting.
• Before the meeting decide on who really needs to be at the meeting.
• The pre-work should be shared with those attending prior to the meeting in good time for them to read and comment.
• Any meeting should start on time. you need to reward those who are in attendance on time and punish those who are not.
• Any good meeting will have an agenda.
• Guests to the meeting will attend and share their information and then leave
• Chairing the meeting -this is a skillset and a potential opportunity for people to develop their skills.
• It’s important to manage the contributions of those involved and also provide opportunities for others to speak
• What culture do you want to create within your meetings? Do you want a managed culture or a free for all culture?

ABOUT THE HOST

Julie Hogbin

I started my career within the accountancy profession, moving on into auditing, then Learning & Development where I have spent over 30 years.

 

In 2011 I threw everything up in the air and became a property investor via forex, trading and learning how to build websites & internet market whilst walking on fire 😊

 

I have worked with over 20,000 Leaders at every level of Management and Leadership for over 30+ years. In the latter years working with CEOs, SMTs, boards of trustees & Entrepreneurs.

 

I have worked with the public, the private and the entrepreneurial sectors of the market. The Leadership messages are the same across the sectors – the application may be different but all are Business’ where Conscious and Principled Leadership reaps rewards for all parties concerned.

 

I work with the human element of Business and my passion is enabling others to be the best they can be through providing them with the information they need to be more effective than they currently are. Unleashing potential and providing knowledge enabling the best decisions to be made for the Business, the Employee, the Leader (themselves) their families and the greater social economy.

 

I am a Coach, a Mentor (and I know the difference) Trainer, Author, property investor and public speaker

 

I love to travel, sunshine, smiley people, intelligent conversation, laughter, learning, networking, supporting others, property as a business, investigating ‘stuff’ problem solving, asking questions that make people think, creating aha moments, gardening and flowers and being outside.
