Minutes matter because they record a group’s decisions, including actions, and they are evidence of deadlines and accountability.

GGI offers an introduction to the art of taking good minutes and why minutes are important. A considerable part of this seminar is devoted to listening skills and how to develop them, including some exercises and practice.

Our interactive training enables you to learn about:

  • * The art of listening
  • * The basics of good minute-taking practice
  • * Different approaches to minute-taking according to the meeting
  • * Useful tips and tactics


The course can be extended to offer a critique of participants’ minutes – or this can be offered as a subsequent add-on.

Our next minute-taking training course for individuals will be on Tuesday, 27 February at 11am-2pm. Courses for groups of individuals from the same organisation are organised on request.
