Comments from previous attendees "I found it very beneficial, and I will be implementing much if what I have learned across many contexts." "I found this course very useful and interesting. It showed the difference between chairing and managing a meeting, as opposed to facilitating it. I was not aware of anything missing from the content – I think all relevant topics were covered in the time given" Book a place: http://www.nowal.ac.uk/general_programme.php?action=view&sql_id=64 If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.
