Course description
High-stakes Team Meetings
Collaborating to prepare and facilitate client meetings
Frequently, more than one individual is responsible for speaking at external business meetings. Sometimes team roles are clear, and hand-offs are smooth, but more often than not, this isn’t the case. Instead, the team ends up talking over each other or interrupting and interjecting with color commentary. When this happens, the flow of the meeting is disrupted, your audience gets confused, and your team looks unprofessional, unfocused, and disorganized. To summarize, your important meeting just tanked.
Our workshop, High-stakes Team Meetings, helps your company be portrayed positively and professionally. Participants learn how to run more productive and efficient external team meetings by focusing on understanding roles, nurturing client relationships, making proper hand-offs, establishing team meeting etiquette, and speaking confidently and authentically – leading to your intended business outcomes.
Throughout the class, participants learn to apply the principles of The Orderly Conversation® while working on their own real-life high-stakes team meetings. Each attendees’ audience may vary – from small or large in-person groups to remote or hybrid environments.
High-stakes Team Meetings takes advantage of executive role-plays to maximize the benefit of practice. Turpin provides advice for selecting the most effective executive(s) at your organization. This workshop includes access to eCoach – our program for pre-work and post-workshop performance support. Participants receive reusable job aids and reference materials to help them apply what they learn in class to the situations they face outside of it. Attendees also receive a copy of The Orderly Conversation: Business Presentations Redefined.
All Turpin Workshops are highly customized to your organization’s and employees’ specific goals and challenges and can be delivered on-site or virtually.
