Who holds the Conducting Meetings training?
The trainings are conducted by our long-time collaborators – experts in the field of facilitation and meeting management with years of practical experience in managing different types of groups and discussions in different industries. These are not theoreticians, but professionals who have successfully led thousands of meetings and created systems that work in practice.
My colleagues have practically applied all the facilitation techniques they teach, which allows them to share concrete experiences about what works when tensions are high or when a group loses focus. Each trainer goes through a selection process where I assess practical experience in leading meetings, ability to transfer knowledge, and results achieved by improving team effectiveness.
As a consultant, I analyze your industry, company culture, and the specific types of meetings you hold, then select the most appropriate trainer for your needs. During the training, I monitor the quality of delivery and ensure that the content is tailored to your reality and that participants receive practical tools they can use immediately.
This approach guarantees that you will get a coach who understands your business, team dynamics, and can answer specific questions related to running meetings in your particular situation.

It is especially useful for project managers who lead different types of meetings, team leaders who deal with passive or dominant participants, managers who want to shorten meeting time without losing quality, as well as all those who want to build a culture of productive discussions in their organization.
The training is tailored to both those who are just starting to lead meetings and need basic facilitation tools, as well as more experienced leaders who want to improve existing techniques and learn advanced approaches to managing group discussions.
