Meeting Detective
Discover what makes a meeting unfocused, inefficient, or unprofessional.
Metro Station 13. Learn how to initiate, participate in, and conclude professional meetings so that people can discuss ideas, make decisions, and agree on what happens next.
Week 13 is not simply about meeting phrases. It develops the capability to move a group from purpose and discussion to decision and action.
โI can work with others in a professional meeting to turn discussion into decisions and action.โ
Professional meetings turn different voices into shared decisions and clear action.
Nine connected learning stations develop professional meeting collaboration from PURPOSE to SUMMARIZE.
A strongly performance-oriented design built around simulation, role-play, facilitation, reflection, and practical communication.
