Running Effective Meetings

[@lexie2617]

Here's a transcript of minutes 7:23-10:23 The meeting if anyone needs it. Alex: I’d like to thank everyone for being here today. And most of you know this already, but since Casey’s still relatively new I’d Like to remind us all that our agreed-upon ground rules are posted on the wall over here. And while the enthusiasm of last meeting was great, let’s try to remember the “listen before we speak” rule. Group: laughter Alex: Ok, so you have your Roadmaps, and you’ll notice that the first item on our agenda is to continue the discussion we started last time on training. Jordan, would you give us a summary on what we’ve discussed so far? Jordan: Sure. We were challenged by the executive level on to how to provide continuing development for super visors. Through our focus group we identified content areas our managers feel they could most benefeit from, these included communication skills, managing performance, and workload prioritization. Today, we need to follow through with our action item that we set up in our last meeting. Chris was going to report back today about pursuing an outside agency that could provide the training. Devin: Then we have 15 minutes to come up with the best format for delivery Alex: Great! So, Chris, were you able to investigate whether Skill Sources had the curriculum offerings we were looking for? Chris: Yes. The answer is yes they do. I looked at the budget and they are well within the allocated range, and since they’re the training company of choice, I think it’s a no-brainer. Alex: Ellecent! Jaime: How long is each of these courses? Chris: About two hours each Alex: Ok, so if we decided to move forward with this curriculum, the question thewn becomes what is the best way for us to deliver? Should we offer them one at a time, or say, a whole day of training to attend all three? Laura: Well, from a director-level perspective, it’s really difficult to release my people for a whole entire day. Devin: But, it’s really hard to go to training for just a few hours and then be expected to retain any of it when you have to go right back to work. Jordan: In that sense, I do agree. I think it might be best to separate supervisors from the workplace so they can really focus on skills development. Casey: Plus, I can see that improving morale, especially if you bring them some place cool. Phil: That’s true. There’s no reason we couldn’t do the training someplace fun, make it something people want to do, like have training on a boat… Jaime; Or on the beach! Casey: or a theme park Alex: Ok, ok I love the enthusiasm, but let’s take this one step at a time. Jordan: Yeah, let, let me catch up. Are we saying that we are in agreement that training should take place off-site? Group nods and looks to Laura Laura; Yeah I guess I can see the benefits. Alex: Ok, so it sounds like we’re agreed. It is the best way for them to focus, retain information, and will improve morale. Um, so now we can tackle how to conduct the training. Devin, how much time do we have left? Devin: Ten Minutes Alex: So let’s take five minutes to do a quick brainstorming go-round and come up with some places that we could conduct the training off-site, and then we’ll still have five minutes to decide and plan next steps

Great materials but very hard to hear - the volume is very low

We have a series of videos on effective meetings. If you'd like to see them, click on our logo to visit our KZbin channel. The volume should be fine - leave a comment if not.
