I am building a presentation to share at my local PMI chapter in a few months. The presentations is on Effective Meetings. The topics I've addressed so far in the presentation include: Sending out an agenda in advance, appropriate amount and style of communication, take some subjects offline, take/distribute timely and clear minutes with action items, your PM leadership style/encoding/decoding, your influence and how to build your reputation, are the right people at your meetings? Stop/let/make/help - how are the people sitting in the chairs contributing? Protecting time, combining meetings when possible, let team out of the meeting early to return to work when appropriate, meeting type alternatives (phone, Skype, in person, etc), inspiring your team and team building ideas. The advantages of taking minutes during the meeting for efficiency, how to deal with negativity, ensuring our projects create efficiencies vs. adding complexity. Have I forgotten anything? Is there anything you would like me to consider on this topic? Saving Changes...
Hi Andrew: I would be happy to share my presentation experience - it will be on April 18th at the INW PMI Chapter. I would be happy to post the presentation, I just need to figure out how to that. Thank you for the points you listed. I really appreciated them all.
Why not propose the presentation for a webinar here!
I would make a point on who really need to attend a meeting.

@Maria: not sure if you are referring to this article -
