THE OFFICE PROFESSIONAL WORKSHOP:
Minute Taking Made Easy
SPACE IS LIMITED – REGISTER TODAY!
Does the thought of taking minutes cause your heart to sink? Do you ever read minutes for a meeting that you attended and the recorder didn't record what actually happened? Or do you have people in your office who want the minutes to record what they meant to say, not what they actually said? Minute taking is one of those skills few people have learned to do properly. Here is your chance to shine!
You are among the majority if you don't feel confident. Few people actually know what taking minutes entails. Now, you can take away the fear and learn the skills immediately!
What Makes Great Minutes?
You know that minutes are historical documents, but do you know what your responsibilities as minute taker entail? Many people never learn how to take good minutes, and simply copy what was done before—even if it was done badly. Don't allow a bad example to sabotage your career. In group discussion, with activities, we will discuss:
- What minutes should contain – and what they shouldn't
- Your role as a minute taker, including legal responsibilities
- The importance of accurate minutes
- How to avoid writing "Bob said," "Mary said" over and over
- How to get rid of extraneous details and conversation to record only what really will matter after the meeting
