Give leaders the skills to run meetings that decide things — and make sure the decisions actually happen.
Meeting Management Excellence is a 2-day programme on the seven-pillar MEETING framework, from testing whether a meeting should exist to the 48-hour recap that drives delivery. Facilitator guide, slides, workbook, simulations and assessments, ready for you to deliver.
- Seven MEETING pillars: Map Purpose, Engineer Agenda, Engage, Track Decisions, Influence, Navigate Dynamics, Generate Accountability
- Practical tools participants use on Monday: necessity test, agenda template, decision log and SMART+P action tracker
- Interventions for the overtalker, the silent participant, derailing conflict and the undecidable issue
- Day 2 closes with a full meeting simulation that puts every pillar to work
Meeting Management Excellence Trainer Toolkit by Bodhih Training — built on programmes delivered to 2,000+ companies since 2008.
The workshop is on the calendar. The material isn’t.
A topic everyone thinks they know
Participants have sat through thousands of meetings, so a session on running them can feel obvious. You need tools and practice sharp enough to change habits people barely notice they have.
Tips don't change a meeting culture
'Always have an agenda' is advice everyone agrees with and nobody follows. A programme that works needs a system — purpose, agenda, facilitation, decision capture and follow-up — practised end to end.
Two days of material is a lot to build
Designing realistic simulations, dysfunction scenarios, templates and assessments from scratch takes far longer than the programme itself.
Picture the evening before your programme.
Picture your participants on Day 1, opening their own calendars and running every recurring meeting through the four-purpose necessity test. Some meetings survive. Some become an email. The room gets noticeably more interested.
From there they engineer an outcome-led agenda with a pre-read and a decision protocol, practise facilitation techniques — the equal voice invitation, the parking lot, a purposeful opening and close — and learn to capture every decision in a log with SMART+P actions.
Day 2 turns to the harder parts. How a junior leader contributes evidence and positions ideas before a senior meeting they don't chair. What to do with the overtalker, the silent participant and the conflict that derails the agenda. How a 48-hour recap and an action tracker make 'non-delivery' a conversation rather than a surprise. Then a full simulation brings it all together.
After you have run it once, you may notice people starting to say 'do we actually need this meeting?' — and meaning it kindly.

Walk in with data. Walk out with proof.
Trainers who measure before and after design sharper sessions — and get rebooked. AssessAll, our sister assessment platform, has assessments that sit naturally alongside this programme.
Walk in knowing where every participant starts.
Pair Meeting Management Excellence with an AssessAll assessment. Participants take it before the workshop, so you can tune the emphasis to the room; they retake it afterwards, so you can show the client what actually moved. Better-targeted sessions, and evidence that wins the next booking.

The rest of the Bodhih family, when you need it
Make the workshop last beyond the room
A workshop is two days; the behaviour change takes months. Jobulary turns assessment evidence into a focused individual development plan (IDP) — a few quarterly objectives built on real work, re-measured honestly. Give every Meeting Management Excellence participant a plan to carry forward.
IDPs are launching soon — the working demo is free to explore now, no sign-up.

What is the MEETING framework for meeting management?
MEETING is the seven-part structure of this programme: Map Purpose, Engineer Agenda, Engage and Facilitate, Track Decisions, Influence, Navigate Dynamics and Generate Accountability. Day 1 covers the first four; Day 2 covers the last three and a full simulation.
Why do organisations invest in meeting management training?
The programme's own business case cites Steven Rogelberg's estimate of around $37 billion a year lost to unproductive meetings, and Microsoft WorkLab research showing meeting time tripled between 2019 and 2022. The quality of a meeting depends heavily on the behaviour of the person running it — which is what this programme changes.
Is meeting management training suitable for virtual delivery?
Yes. A Virtual Delivery Guide is included, and the facilitation tools work equally well for leaders who run most of their meetings online.
What exactly do I get in the Meeting Management Excellence trainer toolkit?
14 editable files: Training Design Document, Facilitator Guide, Slide Deck — Simple Backup, Slide Deck — Main, Virtual Delivery Guide, Participant Workbook, Pre-Work Material, Case Studies, Role-Play Scenario Pack, Quick Reference Cards, Assessment Instruments, Participant Feedback Form, Certificate Template, Marketing Toolkit. Word and PowerPoint formats, so you can add your own branding and examples — and a single ZIP to download everything at once.
How much does the Meeting Management Excellence toolkit cost?
₹2,999 including 18% GST for buyers in India, or $29 for buyers outside India. One-time payment, no subscription, with an automatic invoice.
How and when do I receive the files?
Immediately. Your download page opens the moment payment succeeds, and a permanent download link is emailed to you. The link works from any device without a password.
Can I deliver this programme to my clients and put my own logo on it?
Licensed to the buyer to deliver this programme to their own participants and clients, in person or online, and to adapt and brand the material. Reselling or redistributing the files is not permitted.
How can I measure what participants learn in Meeting Management Excellence?
The toolkit includes its own assessment instruments and feedback form. For a scored pre- and post-workshop measure, pair it with an assessment from AssessAll, Bodhih's sister assessment platform — for example Meetings That Decide Things or Training Facilitation and Group Handling Assessment for Trainers and Facilitators. If nothing fits, you can build your own assessment on AssessAll or ask the AssessAll team to create one for you.
Can Bodhih Training deliver the Meeting Management Excellence programme for my organisation?
Yes. Bodhih Training (bodhih.com) can facilitate the programme in person, live virtual or blended, customised to your context. Contact solutions@bodhih.com or +91 99000 11601.
