Meetings are a necessary evil—or a powerful tool—depending on how well they’re run. However, what’s the difference between a meeting that drives productivity and one that makes things more confusing? Structure, purpose, and execution.
If you’re tired of meetings that consume your productive time or spiral into follow-up meetings, then we have good news for you. The How-to Properly Set Up and Run Team Meetings course is now live in the VPM Academy—and it’s free.
This 30-minute course teaches business owners, managers, and team leaders how to structure and lead meetings that move the needle.
Why Do Meetings Go Wrong? (And How to Fix Them)
We’ve all been in meetings that last a long time, lack direction, or accomplish nothing. Common pitfalls include:
- No clear agenda
- Too many (or too few) people involved
- No follow-up or accountability
- A meeting format that doesn’t fit the goal
- Lack of engagement from attendees
This course helps you avoid these problems by teaching practical strategies for structuring agendas, engaging participants, and ensuring meetings drive results.
What You’ll Learn in This Course
This is a step-by-step guide to transforming your meetings into efficient, engaging, and results-driven experiences.
You’ll learn how to:
- Identify the different types of meetings and when to use each
- How to create a meeting agenda that keeps meetings focused and valuable
