Meeting Facilitation

Most meetings fail before anyone sits down — in the invitation nobody questioned — and the rest fail in the room, where talk was never framed into a decision, or after it, where the decision was never captured and quietly came back. This course teaches the whole craft in its working order: decide whether a meeting should exist at all and state its purpose and outcome before invitations; build the room by capacity and the agenda as decisions to make; run the room toward a decision — frame it, hear the quiet voices, park tangents, handle derailers, and test agreement honestly; then say the decision back complete, capture it where it will be found, and follow through so it holds. The course works on your actual meetings throughout: bring real ones, anonymized, and leave with them rebuilt. No invented statistics — the cost of a meeting is taught from your own calendar.
