You've sat in that meeting. The one that was supposed to take 30 minutes and dragged into 90. Two people arguing while everyone else stared at their phones. It ended with "let's circle back"again.
Here's the truth: that wasn't a "bad team" problem. It was a facilitation problem.
The best meetings you've ever been in weren't better because the people were smarter. They were better because someone in the room knew how to guide it, ask the right question at the right time, keep the loud voices from drowning out the quiet ones, and close with actual clarity instead of "I think we're done here."
That's a skill. And most people are never taught it, they just get thrown into leading meetings and hope they figure it out.
We Facilitation Skills course on MyVarsity to fix exactly that. Practical, no-fluff, built for real workplace situations, not theory.
