Time:
The exercise in this module will take about 30 minutes to complete. In total, allowing for discussion, we recommend allowing 60 minutes to complete this module.

Aims:
• To identify key learning points for running effective meetings.
• To identify strategies for managing difficult behaviours in meetings.

Group Size:
This module is suitable for use with groups of up to 25 participants.

Useful For:
Anyone being asked to chair a meeting, who might be concerned about how to manage difficult or challenging behaviours.

You'll Need:
The audio recording of the story, which can be streamed from Trainers’ Library if you prefer not to read it aloud yourself.

Notes:
This exercise is based around a silly, but fun story that makes a lot of important points about effective meetings. It might not be appropriate for all participant groups, but if you are looking for something fun, imaginative and involving, this could be the exercise for you! The exercise can be used to review learning, or to test participants' existing knowledge about how to run effective meetings.

If reading the story to participants, we suggest that you rehearse reading the story aloud a few times prior to delivery.

Remote/Virtual Delivery:
There is a Remote Delivery version of this module available in Trainers’ Library.
