Minutes matter because they record a group’s decisions, including actions, and they are evidence of deadlines and accountability.

GGI offers an introduction to the art of taking good minutes and why minutes are important. A considerable part of this seminar is devoted to listening skills and how to develop them, including some exercises and practice.

Our interactive training enables you to learn about:

The course can be extended to offer a critique of participants’ minutes, or this can be offered as a subsequent add-on.
