In this course, we will talk about conducting a meeting, how you speak and phrases you will use while connecting those meetings. I'll typically, I'll focus on three things. One is structure and idea around the meeting is the actual wording and phrases. And number three is to have that effervescence as a leader, going about conducting your meetings. Hi, this is Dr. Woodrow podcast. I am a certified leadership code setup, published author. I was a leader at a successful American company. So some of the experiences of the steam from that, that experience. And I'm excited to present my ideas and insights and the actual wording and phrases through this course. And what's more will also be engaged in a class project. I'm excited to have you join the course. Let's get started. 2. Wording and Phrases to Start a Meeting.: Hi, welcome back. Starting a meeting. Wording and freezes wording and phrases to start a meeting. So in this section, in this lecture, we're going to talk about and learn how to start a meeting. We learn the wording and phrases and the tone or related speech. Now, anytime you start a meeting, you first three grid, everybody. Happy. You should start off the week. You say Happy Monday. Say if it's a Monday, you said Happy Monday. Then you first say, I'd like to start with saying first, I'd like to thank you and congratulate you for amazing performance in the past week. Say if it's a new ear you see in the last year. And see if you know someone personally, then you can say, Hey, how was the weekend or in generally you can see how how was your weekend. How's your family? If you know someone from the group, you can also say, Hey, John, Bessie, Betsy, or Ralph, or Mary. How was it, How is your family, How's everybody back home? Being giving compassion, being compassionate and understanding. That's key. And this being warm and friendly. There's the thing about a manager holding the power. Yes, that's important. That's important. But you also want to come off as swarm and compassionate. Or you want to be a friendly individual, warm, and generous leader that you really are. That's we just started with your first. I'd like to welcome all of you here. I hope you had a great weekend. And you know, like, you know, suddenly individuals from group, you can address them by the firstname. Always. Being very casual. It's an American business environment. Can be casual, business casual also let, we can say, Hey John, How was your weekend and addressing them by first name, then that's friendly also. That's how you start to say Agreed them. Also talk about agendas for the d. Or we have to say if you are a time clause, we say we are in a time crunch today or right now. We have so many tasks to fulfill. And we want to start off on a good note and be positive and affirmative and say We can do it. 3. Actual Meeting: Related Language and Speech.: Hi, welcome back. So now the meeting itself, in our last lecture, we talked about the wording and phrases. To start with meeting. We talked about what the actual wording and phrases war. To start any meeting. In this section, we're going to talk about the wording and phrases during the meeting itself. So again, going back to the idea of having a structure, structure, and goals, or what our takeaways for the meeting are. Key. Clarity is the answer in your mind and in the PowerPoint. Say you have the PowerPoint up and you want to make it as clear, concise, fun. You want to keep moving through them. You're going to make the PowerPoint as clear, concise, fun, simple, and friendly as possible. Just put the key elements there. That's a key idea. That's key idea there. And just talking about it gives a leeway. Now, let's talk about the meeting itself. You're setting a PowerPoint presentation. Like I mentioned earlier. You want to be very judicious in what you put up in writing. Can use a pictograph, chart, etc. Or some, some kind of funny doodle or some figures or some writings. Make it light and simple and fun. That goes along way. Why? Because try thinking of the opposite of that. Just having lots of information and leading the amount is not good. You want to vary your tone in the speech as you present, as you make that presentation. So the idea of being dynamic, hitting certain words when you are speaking and then go friendly, warm tone. And the things that you see that we speak, the things that you say, the way you look at somebody, your speeds, Dynamic DSM in your voice, they form the whole repertoire. They are. So key. Now Tips going forward, don't be stuck with one PowerPoint slide for too long. Don't we start with one PowerPoint slide for too long. 4. The Class Project.: Hi, welcome back. The class project. I won't do too. I request you to share your own Structure, wording, and the actual phrases and language that you employ in your business meetings to start or run or to conclude a business meeting. So what are the language and learning that you employ in your company or for new or the leader conducting meetings. So I want you to share and upload your suggestions and ideas and actually warnings here. But that's the whole homework or assignment. 5. Speech and Phrases During the Meeting.: Welcome back. In this lecture, we're gonna talk about the warning and phrases and structure for the meeting itself. Having a structure is key. Having and sharing your positivity, being affirmative and positive. The goal along way. If you're selling a PowerPoint presentation, if you want to make sure that you're very judicious in what you put up in writing. You can use a pictograph chart or some figure doodle. And just having lots of information and reading them out is not good. You want to be very judicious in what you put up in writing. Doesn't go about putting lots of inflammation, inflammation. Be careful about the words you choose, the way you speak, the things that you say, the way you look at somebody, your speeds, dynamism in your voice, they're all so key. Again, don't be stuck with one PowerPoint slide for too long. Now let's talk about comments you can make during the meeting. You started the meeting, you said First, I'd like to welcome all of you here, and I hope you've had a great weekend. Let's get started. Let's start this meeting. Then you make some comments during the meeting. And what are the comments? If somebody passes on a comment, DC. Oh, what a great point. Oh, what a great point. Mary, what do you think of that? Married? What do you think about that? Really interesting. I didn't think of it before. I didn't think of it that way before. Mary, what do you think about that are really interesting. I didn't think of it before. Really interesting. We really didn't see that in our data. We really didn't see that in our data. Oh, really interesting. Mary, what do you think about that? That's an excellent point you just made. I'm really happy you brought that up. That's an excellent point. You just made really happy. You brought that up. I think that's a good segue into our next topic. Things like that. These are the common phrases or language or speech that you can employ in doing meetings. Again, being very affirmative, giving out the energy, giving energy. I'm bringing elements of positivity and having a structure go a long way. So key, send the positive energy to your people, to support our people, to make people want to come to work. That's important. The way that we have accompany work for the benefit of everyone, for the missing of the company, for the structure of walking together a people and for individual happiness is to really support our people, to make people want to come to work. They are important, they're very key. Paramount importance. The way that we have a company work for the benefit of everyone. I'm missing of the company or the successor of working together a people. And for individual happiness is to really support our people, to make people want to come to work. Have a person that they're dealing with. You in this case was dynamic. And it was there for them and wants the best for them, and giving them positive critiques as they go through the day, telling them what they're doing, right, and how they might be able to improve. Now, asking for the feedback, asking for your employees feedback as you conduct the meetings. So you might ask, how do you think we might be able to solve this? What is your idea? Tackling the issue? So again, within the meeting you allow to talk. You're giving each person the chance to talk, to bring out, to present their own voice to prison, their own takes on things. To bring their own perspectives and references to the meeting to add value. That's important. Again, especially if you are having a round robin, the Zoom Room, giving each person the chance to speak. That's important. 6. Ending a Meeting: Related Phrases.: In a meeting. So what are the phrases to end the meeting? You say, it looks like we're running out of time. Let's go ahead and wrap up. You don't want to be the person who says, you know. So, alright, everybody gets, Let's wrap up. We don't want to go and if we don't have time, let's wrap up. You don't want to do that. You're going to be very professional and APHA meeting suggestion, always giving employees, employees the power and ease and see, making them smarter. So you say, it looks like we're running out of time. So let's go ahead and wrap up. Let's go ahead and wrap up. You could say, Well, great, I think we've covered everything on the list. Let's go ahead and table that idea until our next session. So let me say that sentence again. You could say, Well, great, I think we've covered everything on the list. Let's go ahead and table that idea until our next session. I think we've covered everything on the list. If we could look at point a and B, John and Mary, that would be wonderful.
