A successful meeting needs to move from discussion to decision.

In this workshop, you’ll practise the language used to respond to proposals, negotiate possibilities, ask for more time before answering and move towards an agreement.

We’ll also look at how meetings are kept on track: controlling time, calling for a decision, voting and clearly confirming what has been agreed.

You’ll practise how to:

• accept and reject offers professionally

• ask for time to consider a proposal

• discuss different possibilities

• respond without committing immediately

• reach agreement

• check whether everyone agrees

• take and respond to a vote

• confirm decisions

• manage the timing of a discussion

• summarise the result of a meeting
