Everyone loves a meeting – it’s a surefire way to kill time in business!  I spent 26 years working for the Metropolitan Police and for some of that time, I was a meeting secretary for the most senior Board meetings.  I learnt many tips to keep meetings focused and on track making the required decisions to move progress forward.

My blog post is an excellent source of tips for writing minutes if you’ve never done it before.  Have a quick look and get my free Agenda template. (Check your download folder to find the file).

I also devised a minutes template with instructions on use available to purchase for £20 (use the download link below).  It helps to keep track of decision-making.  I used this method to train the current team of meeting secretaries and the template is still being used today.

For an extra £5 I have a copy of my action tracker which was recognised as the most effective way to ensure actions were completed on time.

You can also get a free template of my Attendee List and then I think you might be set to take the minutes at your first meeting.  Good luck!

I am also looking to develop a minute-taking test so watch this space, or email me if you would like to be kept informed of this.
