Marvellous Meetings posterHow to have enjoyable and inclusive meetings

This workshop offers a set of simple, easy-to-learn methods that can be used to increase productivity, participation and enjoyment in many different everyday situations from work meetings to family meals. They need very little preparation and they work!

So whether you work for a business, belong to a community group, represent constituents on a council, or are a parent, you can come out of meetings feeling inspired, excited, with a sense of achievement and clarity about your next steps. The methods work because they are designed for inclusion - so that everyone at a meeting has a real chance to participate and develop a sense of ownership of the outcomes of the meeting.

The methods used include “Thinking Contracts”. When employed during meeting time these ensure the best use is made both of time and each person's best thinking.

“Open and Visible Agendas” ensure that all members of a team or organisation have a vested interest in the agenda as it is processed throughout the meeting.

“Check Ins” and “Go Rounds” ensure that all voices are heard and enhance the enjoyment experienced by participants.

This workshop will enable you to plan and run marvellous meetings in all areas of your life.
