Minute Taking Training

Service Description

Duration: 1.0 days - Schedule: 9:00am - 4:30pm NZT (lunch and two tea breaks). Classes with one participant will be conducted. However, due to the efficiency of a one-on-one training, the course will begin at 9am and be completed within 3-4 hours. This class is limited to a maximum of 4 participants. Description: Mindshift Learning Company’s Minute Taking Training course will enable you to understand the important role of a minute-taker as well as learn how to efficiently record all the important information discussed in any setting. You will learn key skills like deciding what should be recorded, active listening, how to create drafts and reports, organisational skills and much more. Both formal and informal meetings are taking place every day in any organisation, but who is taking and recording the minutes from these meetings? Are accurate records of key business decisions being recorded? Who were the key decision makers? Does anyone know what happened in the meeting and what decisions were made and carried? What ideas were discussed and motioned? Are your business units effectively implementing decisions made after the meeting? After completing this course participants will be able to: • Recognise the importance and outcomes of minute-taking • Identify and record action items during board meetings • Develop skills in active listening, critical thinking, and organisation • Understand and customise meeting agreements • Record three types of minutes, including formal meetings, informal, and action items • Prepare and publish minutes with perfection • Take minutes in interactive board meetings • Write drafts, proofread and organise minutes • Build and maintain a minute book • Recognise the outcome of minute-taking for a particular meeting • Recognise the role of a minute-taker in achieving larger goals of an organisation • Deal with common complaints and difficulties faced by minute-takers • Perform the role with expertise using knowledge and skills As a way to make our training courses more impactful, we include a personal style report for each participant called a REACH Profile, a $249 value, free as part of the course (see the REACH Profile section of our website for a description).
