Meeting Mentoring: How does it work?
The Situation
I’ve got an important & tricky meeting coming up can you help me prepare and design for success?
The solution
A series of 1:1 virtual sessions to support the preparation, design and review of the meeting.
Preparatory questions sent for prethinking in advance of the first prep session
- Session 1 – getting really clear about the impact required and the conversations needed prior to the meeting
- Session 2 – with more data from the conversations we co-created the design for the meeting
Design of templates to support the meeting
Learning review, to reflect on the experience and develop capability for next time
The benefits
- Meeting results achieved and follow-up work progressed
- Improved relationships with meeting participants, leading to more business.
I would highly recommend the Meeting Magic learning lab…I joined the lab expecting to learn new skills and gain some practical tools for effective collaboration – which I did.
But I also gained so much more than that. The immersive experience and reflective space left me questioning everything I thought I knew about collaboration.
I also came away with a community of fellow collaborators from across sectors and countries.
It was an invaluable experience and I really cannot recommend Katherine and Kenda enough to anyone who facilitates (or attends) meetings in the course of their work.
