Practical Skills in Active Listening and Note-Taking


Meetings are an important part of the group decision-making process. With today’s flatter, less hierarchical organizations, one week you could be asked to chair a meeting and the next week to record the minutes. Minutes are a record of the group’s decisions and action items and it is vital that they are clear, concise and accurate. This seminar helps participants to understand the full range of their role and responsibilities as Minute Takers, to work effectively with the Chair and to produce agendas and minutes in a variety of styles – formal, informal and action.

Workshop participants will take part in a mock meeting to gain a practical understanding of the roles of Chair and Minute Taker, to practice taking accurate notes and producing correct minutes. Active learning takes place in a relaxed and fun environment.

Course participants will be encouraged to summarize their key learning points and prepare a short action plan to implement on their return to work.

An open enrollment session allows you to learn and grow with people from different organizations.
Open to all members of the public.

Participant reviews

“As somebody new to the practice, I’m excited to use what I learned back to my work environment.”
–Breanne

“I found the discussion around the four types of note taking for meeting minutes to be very insightful. As well, I enjoyed learning various tips and tricks for note taking and having the opportunity to practice learned skills in a real-life meeting format.”
–Past participant

“There were enough activities (and those offered were well-chosen) to allow participants to apply what they were learning without the course being too activity-focused.”
