We are all aware of agendas for meetings, and I hope you read agendas before meetings! An agenda isn’t just a list of things to talk about in a meeting, but includes far more information. If you have been asked to create an agenda for a meeting: whether this is official or one that is set by your department or business, this is a podcast to listen to. I would also add that creating agendas for one to one meetings – face to face, on Skype or telephone, are an effective way of improving your outcomes after a meeting.
In the latest Superstar Communicator Podcast, Neil shares a wealth of knowledge and tips on how to set an agenda for a meeting. His tips include:
- Considering what you want to achieve
- Including the participants
- Apologies from those not able to attend
- Where the meeting is and when it starts
- Approximate length of the meeting
- What else to include in a written agenda
- how to timetable the topics to be discussed
