About this course

Most professionals spend 30–50% of their workweek in meetings yet receive almost no training in how to run them well. This course delivers a practical, research-backed system for designing purposeful agendas, managing group dynamics in real time, and closing meetings with clear owners and deadlines. You will leave with reusable templates, facilitation scripts, and the judgment to know when a meeting is necessary at all.
