When it comes to winning for your clients and stakeholders, every meeting matters. Yet, far too often we aren’t taught how to lead these meetings well.

Decision-makers no show. Conversations run amuck. And the only decision that’s often made
is, you guessed it, to have another meeting.

This interactive session delivers practical tools to level up your facilitation skills. Whether you’ve been leading meetings for years or just starting out, you’ll walk away with a proven framework to nail any type of meeting.

From project kickoffs and brainstorms to critical working sessions, you’ll discover how to
facilitate these high-stakes moments using a clear strategy so work gets decided — and done!

Key Takeaways

Identify the essential elements of leading client sessions
Learn how to facilitate meetings using the Gather – Ideate – Act framework so you can brainstorm, surface problems, and identify solutions faster
Create more inclusive meetings where all participants feel seen and heard, particularly in virtual settings
