The DETAILS
Intermediate Level
Up to 75 Minutes or 90+ Minutes
If your calendar is packed with meetings that feel unproductive, unfocused, or unnecessary, you’re not alone. Too often, meetings run long, drift off course, or end without clarity on next steps—leaving participants frustrated and momentum stalled.
Meeting on Purpose: Gain Clarity, Align Goals, Drive Action is a practical program designed to help professionals plan and lead meetings that actually move work forward. Participants learn how to define a clear purpose, set intentional agendas, and facilitate discussions that stay focused and productive while guiding groups toward shared understanding, buy-in, and action—whether the meeting is in person, virtual, or hybrid.
This session also equips participants with strategies to regain control when conversations derail, respond effectively when you don’t have an immediate answer, and guide groups toward clear decisions and action items. The result: meetings that feel purposeful, efficient, and aligned—driving clarity, accountability, and progress instead of fatigue.
