How to Have a Great Meeting

Greatness Every Day

How to Have a Great Meeting - In this video I’ll teach you some effective meeting strategies for your next group meeting.

1. Agenda

- send out in advance

- review at the beginning of the meeting

- create a meeting template for meetings that happen regularly

2. Create a safe environment

- be positive

- remind people that what happens in the meeting stays in the meeting.

- MODEL IT

3. Assign/Know Your Roles

- everyone should know what their roles are prior to meeting.

- sometimes they are the same, sometimes they change.

- timekeeper, notetaker, reminder when people get off-task, etc.

4. Take notes

- two ways that notes should be taken.

- have a notetaker, who records “meeting minutes” in as much detail as possible and then send them out at the end of the meeting. (Include supervisors if needed)

- everyone should take their own notes, in their own words, doesn’t have to be long.

5. End with “Action Steps”

- The meeting should conclude on schedule.

- Review the meeting agenda to confirm that you’ve covered everything you set out to cover.

- identify what each member’s ACTION STEPS will be

- schedule the next meeting.
