When is a Meeting not a Meeting?

Certain types of meeting shouldn’t be classed as meetings in the way we intend in this course.

Sales presentations

These are:

Sales presentations

Briefings

Here’s why.

Presentations and briefings are mainly concerned how you deliver a set piece to an audience of, say, customers or press, or workforce.

No interaction required on the part of the audience, other than a short Q&A at the end. The audience are expected to understand what they’re told, then go do it.

The sort of meetings we’re more concerned with on this course are meetings where a group are involved in working together to achieve an agreed task, and each person is expected to make a contribution.

However if your briefings or presentations do involve opportunities for genuine dialogue and ideas, then read on.

Exercise 5:

  • Interactive meetings?
  • One-way presentations?
  • One-way briefings?

Write this down, as in:
