How to Have a Good Meeting by Bryan Scott



Preparing for your first meeting may be hard if you dont know what your doing, along with the tips I gave you in the voki above here are some great ways to have a well planned productive meeting.

1. Issue an agenda
2. Start the discussion and encourage active participation
3. Work to keep the meeting at a comfortable pace – not moving too fast or too slow
4. Summarize the discussion and the recommendations at the end of each logical section.

Most of all make sure that you select good participants for your meeting. It is escential to have members that are ready to learn and listen to what you want to accomplish. Follow these steps and you will be ready to run the perfect meeting.

  1. Love the voki, Brian. It's a dog eat dog world out there, isn't it. Proofread your work for spelling and punctuation errors and infuse more voice in your text so that your personality comes through.
