About This Course

(i) To enhance understanding of meeting dynamics, including recognizing different communication styles and power dynamics at play.

(ii) To utilise speaking opportunities effectively, by learning techniques such as 'the PREP method' (Point, Reason, Example, Point) for structuring thoughts quickly and clearly.

(iii) To promote inclusivity and active participation in meetings. This includes learning to recognize and address implicit biases, practicing 'active listening' to show respect for all viewpoints, and encouraging quieter individuals to share their thoughts.

What You'll Learn

This dynamic workshop will help you master the subtle art of 'reading the room'. You will acquire strategies such as 'the pause' for finding the right moment to speak up, and 'assertive communication' to express views confidently and respectfully. You will also learn strategies like 'round robin' participation or apply the 'step up, step back' principle. We will engage in hands-on activities and role-playing exercises in Technical and Operations work contexts to simulate meeting scenarios. You will learn what makes an effective meeting and to sense the right moment to speak, contribute your ideas and insights, positively influence the course of the discussion, and foster an inclusive environment. A short role-play assessment will evaluate your skills, and personalised feedback will be given to guide your progress.
