Making meetings work

Hello!
Most people hate meetings! We think they are hard work, dull, fruitless, even painful, necessary but boring, to be avoided whenever possible. But meetings are the heart of our organisations, we get to discuss issues, make decisions together, get creative, practice our values and get to know each other.
When meetings are productive and engaging they help us move forward with our plans to make change happen, they empower us and they help sustain our groups.
Want to help make your group's meetings more effective, inclusive andenjoyable? Would you like to facilitate a meeting, but don't have theconfidence yet?
