In this course, How to Run Effective Meetings, you'll gain a concrete, repeatable system to lead focused, inclusive, and outcome-driven meetings in today's hybrid and distributed workplace.
First, you'll explore how to determine whether a synchronous meeting is necessary, build an agenda tied to real decisions and deliverables, and set up logistics that make hybrid sessions work before anyone joins the call.
Next, you'll discover how to manage power dynamics, including authority bias and the HiPPO effect (Highest-Paid Person's Opinion), designed to work whether you're running a co-located standup or coordinating across time zones.
Finally, you'll learn how to use any LLM to draft structured meeting summaries and clear action-item lists with a clear focus on prompt strategy, human verification, and routing outcomes into the tools your team already uses.
When you're finished with this course, you'll have the skills and knowledge of meeting facilitation needed to reclaim your team's time and energy, and to run meetings people leave actually feeling productive.
