Good meetings with better results don’t just happen – they are thoroughly planned and organized in advance!

In meetings, two or more people come together (inter-cultural, interdisciplinary and from different generations or hierarchies) for the purpose of discussing an agenda which is frequently decided on in advance and which consists of topics related to daily business, projects or future plans.

A meeting provides people with the opportunity to come together in real-life face-to-face situations. Today, its state-of-the-art communication lines and equipment also enable people to take part in the same meeting while being in different locations, e.g. via an online meeting or a conference call (audio and/or video conference).

This training material shows you step by step how you can plan more effective meetings – to achieve what you have planned in advance.

In short: you will learn and experience how to really improve your meetings, discussions and skills as a chairperson.

We encourage you to think innovatively and to deliver your chairmanship in your own individual way. Nowadays, being yourself and being a good communicator and chairperson at the same time is one of the most commonly required soft skills.

Our trainers will question everything in a targeted manner in order to achieve the highest possible results: for example, to discuss and work out your company‘s international presentations and marketing materials.

Any international marketing and/or media content with communications purposes such as your company’s websites, videos, magazines, brochures, flyers, advertisements and other international English media presentations narrated in both audio and video, as well as impromptu public spoken speeches or any other materials written in English – everything that will optimize your company’s brands, products, and services that we will work on with you.

In this way, your international company‘s holistic corporate communication and identity will improve naturally through quality measurements (including every international aspect of communication in every area of marketing, advertising, and public relations).
