Leading Effective Meetings (Udemy.com)

The presenter talked very fast and it was fast paced however the videos were shorter which was good and not too long. Also, all the resources provided were helpful and can be used as a guidance and reference tool going forward for me. Very good information that was shared and overall beneficial.

I really enjoyed this course on leading effective meetings. The content was clear, practical, and covered every stage of a meeting—from preparation and setting goals, to engaging participants, managing issues, and following up afterwards. I especially appreciated the focus on interaction, asking the right questions, and keeping meetings productive instead of wasting time. The examples and tips (like how to design agendas, use slides properly, or handle unexpected problems) were realistic and easy to apply. Overall, I feel much more confident in organizing and leading meetings that are purposeful, engaging, and successful.

There were many informative points to consider when leading a meeting that I learned. Especially Section 4 where it was mentioned about keeping it instructive by engaging the audience and using props to keep it interesting.

The recent lecture provided valuable insights into the different types of meetings and their distinct purposes. It was exceptionally helpful in clarifying when and why specific meeting formats are appropriate, from team check-ins and brainstorming sessions to decision-making and information-sharing gatherings. By outlining clear objectives for each type of meeting, the lecturer gave us practical tools to maximize productivity and ensure that meeting goals align with organizational needs. This new understanding of meeting types and purposes will definitely enhance my approach to organizing and participating in various professional settings.

A bit common-sense-that-everybody-knows-but-nobody-does but nice to have the main points wrapped up in a single course. I would have apreciated more practical examples (e.g.: same topic presented in the boring and in the effective way). Nice value added/time invested ratio overall.

This course offers high level information on preparing, planning, and conducting meeting. I would recommend this course to someone who needs helpful tips about meetings and/or is new to hosting meetings. Most of this information is standard knowledge to someone who hosts meetings frequently.

It is a good course all in all however it is not very practical, also I thought it was too much focus on preparation for the meeting rather than the meeting itself. I get the point that it is just as important as the way you conduct the meeting but I found the course to be a bit off-balance with regards to my expectations.

I was hoping to get more insight on leading meetings within a company or a team, rather than holding presentations to what could be external stakeholders. for example how to engage people in a brainstorming, or how to stay on the subject, be brief, not bore, not forget important aspects etc.

I personally thought is it so easy to organize a meeting, clearly I was totally wrong all along because after taking this course made me release that I must not take things for granted therefore it was really valuable and helpful course. Thank you.

Amazing indeed, I have been using this meeting types but in different occasions. Now I know which where to use what type of meeting, it gives me a better understanding of the different types and where to used them.
