High-Performance Meetings

How to Drive Decisions and Results

High-Performance Meetings is a one-day professional development programme designed to eliminate unproductive meetings and replace them with clear, focused, outcome-driven conversations.

This programme equips leaders and professionals with a practical communication framework to prepare, lead, and participate in meetings that result in decisions, alignment, and action — without unnecessary conflict, repetition, or wasted time.

In fast-moving organisations, meetings are where strategy either advances or stalls.
This course ensures they move things forward.

Why This Programme Matters

Most organisations have plenty of meetings.
Few have meetings that actually work.

Common issues include:

Discussions that loop without resolution
Decisions that are unclear or later disputed
A few voices dominating while others disengage
Conflict handled indirectly or avoided altogether
Follow-up meetings created to fix what the first meeting failed to resolve

High-Performance Meetings addresses the human communication patterns that determine whether meetings succeed — not just agendas or procedures.

What You Get Out of This

By the end of this programme, participants will be able to:

Design meetings with clear outcomes, intentions, and consequences
Prepare focused agendas that keep discussions aligned and on track
Maintain engagement and momentum throughout meetings
Clarify vague discussion and prevent misunderstandings before they escalate
Bring conversations back on topic without shutting people down
Handle resistance, tension, and disagreement calmly and productively
Close meetings with shared understanding, decisions, and next steps

These skills reduce wasted time, improve decision quality, and strengthen accountability across teams.

What This Programme Covers

High-Performance Meetings provides a complete, practical framework, including:

Preparing meetings using clear outcomes, intentions, and consequences
Building outcome-driven agendas
Selecting the right participants and setting expectations
Establishing rapport and maintaining engagement
Using precise questioning to clarify meaning and commitments
Paraphrasing and backtracking to confirm shared understanding
Challenging irrelevance respectfully and effectively
Handling impasses, incongruence, and resistance
Reviewing decisions and locking in actions at close

All tools are demonstrated, practised, and applied to real meeting scenarios.

After this programme, participants will:

Be known as the person who runs focused, decisive meetings
Save hours of wasted time each week
Increase trust and clarity in team communication
Handle conflict without drama or avoidance
Contribute to a culture of accountability and alignment

The same communication skills learned here also strengthen one-to-ones, performance conversations, and negotiations.
