Communicating effectively is a skill that requires a lifelong commitment to self-awareness, practice, and heeding feedback from others. When we feel we could have made our point clearer or were misunderstood, we have an opportunity to learn new skills to improve our professional and personal relationships. As a meeting facilitator, your role is to create a forum where communication is lively, engaging, and on topic. This seminar will address the question: Why are some meetings engaging and fun? We will explore the value of meetings, your role as facilitator or meeting member, and what you can do to keep energy up.
