Essential Meeting Facilitation Toolkit

Hey Hunters! It’s Robert here, on behalf of the team at SessionLab - an application that helps people design better meetings. I'm glad to present you our Essential Meeting Facilitation Toolkit. Most of us don't need to think too long to recall a recent meeting with discussions running in endless circles until half of the people into the room either just starting to space out or opening their laptops. Whether we talk about scrum meetings, large group workshops, team alignment meetings, training sessions, design sprints or project kick-offs, meetings are an important part of any business. At SessionLab we want to fight the chaotic, agenda-less, dreadful and unprepared meetings that suck away the life of people participating. That is why our team curates the largest public of library meeting facilitation methods. We have now selected 12 high-impact and easily applicable activities in a toolkit to help you make the most out of your next meeting, from the beginning until the end. I'd love to hear if you find the selected activities useful. Also, we are planning to make similar toolkits in the future - for example collecting the best methods to generate ideas or analyse issues - so I'd be really interested to hear if you find this format useful and what are the topics you find most interesting to learn more on.

Productive meetings are not just important for keeping the participants happy and satisfied. They are essential for the progression of human knowledge, safety, security, peace and practically everything related to our social interactions. Unfortunately, we usually don't pay much attention on having well prepared and facilitated meetings, in spite of this huge importance.

This toolkit brings back this importance in a very structured and clear way, allowing you to not only to save time and energy during meetings but also make better decisions for your company/NGO/family/project.

Big thumbs up for creating this and for sharing it online for FREE!
