Online registration for this event.

How many people do you know who are truly skilled at chairing a meeting? Not many. It's relatively easy to learn because we already know what works, what doesn't work, and why. Preparation is more extensive than you might imagine and it does call for the right confidence and attitude on your part. But knowing how to run a meeting well is a skill that will benefit you, as well as your attendees, for the rest of your career.

In this program you will practice and learn:

• How to ensure that every meeting has a written agenda
• What you need to do to prepared for the meeting
• What you must do during and after the meeting
  

Who should attend?

Managers and professionals across all industries and functional areas.
