Taking minutes is one of the essential ingredients in making sure that meetings are productive and cost effective. They also become the legal record of what took place in the meeting, so they need to be done right! In The Minute Taker’s Workshop, the focus is on accurate, complete, and useable minutes.
Participants in the minute taker’s workshop learn the value of different types of minutes, including formal, semi-formal, and action minutes. With’this one-day training course, they’ll also improve their listening skills, critical thinking, and organizational skills to help them keep up with what’s happening in the meeting and to prepare their follow-up documentation.
This soft skills courseware includes all the tools necessary to deliver training within hours of downloading the materials! It’s also easily customizable, with the ability to turn your instructor guide, student handbook, quick reference guide, pre-assignment, assessments, and handouts into something that reflects your brand, and your style.
