Learning how to facilitate a meeting effectively is a great skill to develop for anyone who runs, organises, or attends a lot of meetings. 

 Facilitating a meeting effectively is likely to make the meeting a lot more useful for everyone - attendees are more likely to solve the problem or make the decision they are at the meeting for. And it is likely to be a much more enjoyable journey to get there for all attendees.

 In “How to Facilitate A Meeting Effectively” I share 9 meeting facilitation tips that will help you improve your facilitation techniques for meetings, making meetings more productive and useful to you, the team and business.

 It is very hard to undertake effective meeting facilitation and be a full participant in the meeting. Take one role or the other – avoid attempting both.

 The first action in how to be a good facilitator in a meeting is to stay neutral. If you don’t, you will not maintain the trust of every participate, therefore hampering your ability to be an effective meeting facilitator. 

 Stay apart from the meeting conversation and observe the dynamics of what is happening, the personalities in the room and all the non-verbal signals everyone sends. Listen to what is being said and help keep the meeting on course to achieve its objectives. 

 I share meeting facilitation ideas and questions that you use to keep the meeting moving through the agenda, overcome roadblocks and gain agreement from the participants.
