SCVO - Effective minute taking (fees apply)

Can someone take the minutes? How often do you avoid eye contact when this question is asked in meetings? 

Attend this interactive online course, which is packed full of tips and strategies for minute taking in online meetings, look them in the eye and say “I’ll be happy to do it!”

During this online course you will learn what your role and responsibilities as a minute taker are and new ways of taking accurate notes in online meetings and Board meetings. You'll also pick-up lots of top tips and tricks to help you produce easy to read minutes.

What’s the big deal with minutes anyway? Minutes are a record of what takes place at a meeting and ensures nothing is lost or forgotten - you will learn how to take, prepare and present minutes.

No need to write like the wind and capture every word - minutes don’t have to be verbatim but they have to record certain facts. You will explore what must be recorded: participants, decisions, actions… 

Time is precious, so make every second count - think like a Scout and be prepared! The trainer will discuss the meeting cycle and what to prepare before your meeting takes place. 

Minutes don’t have to be long, complicated or in fancy language but they need to record clearly and simply... You will examine the most difficult aspects of taking minutes and how best to address them.  

Anyone can scribble a rough outline of a meeting, right? Yes, but to take good notes and create minutes that provide an accurate reflection requires a particular set of skills - the trainer will show you!

The good, the bad and the ugly - you’ll examine good and bad minutes, which will help you follow best practice and avoid common mistakes.
