Did you know that businesses spend millions of dollars per year on meetings? But most of the meeting attendees of these reported assemblies spend their time daydreaming and even snoozing.
Meetings should be taken seriously by every employee as these are very important to the success of any organization. But,what if the meeting is dull and boring? Well, we cannot blame the attendees if they cannot focus during the whole duration. Well-managed meetings should be lively, engaging and informative enough to draw the attendees’ full attention and cooperation. The BIG question is how can the facilitator take hold of the attendees’ full concentration? Learn how by enrolling in a Meeting Management training course!
This Meeting Management training course teaches you how to avoid wasting time, how to create well-prepared presentations, how to keep the audience’s attention, etc. Participants will learn planning and leading strategies to give them the confidence to handle a meeting that will entertain attendees, handle disruptions and create a positive and long-lasting impression.
This effective training course is available now in Kuala Lumpur and Malaysia.
This Meeting Management training course can be delivered at your premises by one of our expert local or international trainers or live online using our HIVE technology.

Barwon Youth always conduct surveys to capture staff's feedback of each meeting, and PD day. All feedback was positive and an example is 'finally a relevant practical training that suits everyone from HR, IT, Management and all youth/social workers!' We will definitely use PD Training and in particular 'Karen' again for professional development in the areas you offer. We conduct training for all staff every two months, so you will hear from us most definitely.

Jack was able to tailor the course to be specific to my role and he had some similar experiences within his career that he was able to refer to which made the training more relevant. He was able to identify my strengths and how I will be able to utilize them over the next 2 or 3 years.

An Australian University study has shown that companies are wasting huge amounts of money on inefficient meetings. The study conducted by the University of South Australia discovered that one in three workers admitted to falling asleep in meetings while 87% said they daydream and 26% said they did other work.
Professor Terry Robbins-Jones, head of the University's School of Accounting and Information Systems says face-to-face meetings are costing Australian businesses a whopping A$19bn a year. "People spend well over 50% of their time working with other people - making it the single most expensive activity in the business world - and yet we know nothing about it," he said.
"Bearing in mind that collaboration - including the time spent in face-to-face meetings - probably accounts for well over half the total costs of any organisation, companies should be thinking about having a budget for it or monitoring how effectively it operates," he added. The University of South Australia study found that 46% of executives felt meetings were a good use of time, while 33% felt that - at best - they were fairly productive. These figures suggest that utilizing a "meeting auditor" or "collaborative advocate" could produce cost savings and increased productivity benefits.
This Meeting Management Training Course will assist participants with the appropriate meeting conventions and protocols to managing formal, informal and e-meetings. Participants will learn to apply tools and techniques in planning, participating in, and concluding successful meetings.

When you want a tailored learning experience targeting exactly what you want without bringing everyone physically together, the best choice is a Live Online Class run by PDT.
We tailor the content and activities to be specific to your current needs and the needs of the people and run the course in our usual activity-based workshop style training, however, the participants can all be offsite, or some can be in the room with others offsite.
Unless you have a preferred tools we use 'Zoom for Education' that includes enhanced collaboration features such as One-click content sharing, real-time co-annotation (people can work together in activity files), and digital whiteboarding, we also include things like live polls and group chats so you virtually have the same collaborative learning experience of attending a course in a room with other people.
We have delivered these 100's (if not 1000's) of times, and get great outcomes. We achieve great outcomes because we keep our learner centric approach - just because it’s delivered through a screen to some or all participants doesn’t mean it needs to be less tailored or less personalised.
You still have an expert trainer who talks to you prior to the session and tailors the delivery to use your terminology, ensure activities are relevant and directly applicable and ensures an engaging learning experience that provide people with skills and techniques they can apply the very next day.
A hybrid class is with some people connecting online, and some people physically together in the same room.
We provide the Training Management Centre which is an information hub before, during and after training.

Our systems and people make it easy to identify how you’ll be able to measure impacts,
and then report on the success in the weeks or months after training.
It’s surprisingly easy to make it so that your system can automatically be up to date with all the training record details you need.
