International Meeting Skills
Canning Professional’s International Meeting Skills program focuses on the key principles and techniques that need to be mastered in order to proactively participate in an international meeting.
Participants are trained to set-up meetings appropriately, create goals and agendas, state facts and opinions clearly and logically, defend their views, challenge others, solve problems and generate solutions.
We help participants deal with language and cultural issues. Participants practice facilitating meetings and managing the attendees. Participants are trained to be polite but assertive.
Participants receive consistent and practical feedback that can be used immediately in their next meeting. Sometimes we may video record meeting performances to assist with feedback.
We always customize the program content to the exact and unique needs of our participants, but programs usually include the following:
- How to prepare and “be ready” for an international meeting
- How to adapt to different cultural expectations and communication styles
- How to interact proactively
- How to “catch” more of what others say
- How to state points clearly, simply and concisely
- How to summarize information/opinions
- How to state points logically
- How to be assertive, but polite
- How to disagree directly, but politely
- How to be more persuasive
- How to handle “difficult” people
- How to chair meetings effectively
- How to continue to improve after the course
Whether participants have experienced many international meetings or are getting ready for their first, Canning Professional can dramatically boost performance and improve the results achieved.
