Dear Member,

SHADE workshop on " Conducting Effective Meetings, an Essential Skill for School Leaders " on Saturday, January 19, 2013

School Head Teachers Association for

Development of Education offers a workshop on

Conducting Effective Meetings, an Essential Skill for School Leaders

  

  Do you understand the dynamics of conducting meetings?

•   Are you conversant with the way of making your suggestions more open, more flexible and more negotiable, and your messages softer and more effective?
•   Are you always at ease when you present cogent, lucid, and balanced arguments; give strong, neutral, or tentative opinions; and show strong, neutral, or tactful disagreement?  Do you feel comfortable expressing strong/partial support and total/tentative opposition?
• Do you know how to persuade and how to compromise?

 If the answer to any of these questions is NO, then this workshop is for you!

This workshop is going to be a platform to sit together and see how efficient we are when we conduct meetings. This workshop focuses on one of the most powerful tools of communication – language. Whether we preside over or attend a meeting, our language matters most.
