So, who wants to take the minutes? It’s a question that guarantees lots of fidgeting, shuffling and looking down.

The minute-taker, however, plays a key role in ensuring the successful outcome of a meeting. When done correctly, it’s an influential and respected position. But it can be a stressful experience and many find it difficult to know what to put in and what to leave out. Getting it right first time can save your organisation a lot of time, effort and money.

This half-day workshop will teach you how to take concise, accurate minutes and how to behave within a meeting so you can record key points and actions efficiently.
