Chairing and Managing Brilliant Meetings

This module is for anyone who is involved in chairing meetings and wishes to improve their effectiveness when organising and running meetings. The course considers and practises the main roles and responsibilities of the chair. The module will be run as a series of meetings and participants will be expected to take turns ‘chairing’. By the end of the module participants will:

  • list necessary meeting rules
  • know why liaising with the minute taker is vital to accurate, brief and clear minutes
  • identify the roles and responsibilities of meeting members, the chair and the secretary
  • have more ideas about how to lead, facilitate and summarise as required
  • handle meeting ‘personalities’

Participants may find it useful to attend the confident communication module before completing this one.
