Meet Penny PD — your personal guide to create your own development program!

Both formal and informal meetings are taking place every day in any organization, but who is taking and recording the minutes from these meetings?

Are accurate records of key business decisions being recorded? Who were the key decision makers? Does anyone know what happened in the meeting and what decisions were made and carried?  What ideas were discussed and motioned? Are your business units effectively implementing decisions made after the meeting?

The PD Training Minute Taking Training course will enable you to understand the important role of a minute-taker as well as efficiently recording all the important information discussed.  Learn key skills like deciding what should be recorded, active listening, how to create drafts and reports, organizational skills and much more.

This comprehensive training course is available across the United States, including Atlanta, Austin, Baltimore, Birmingham, Boston, Charlotte, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Jackson, Los Angeles, Manhattan, Miami, New York, Orlando, Philadelphia, San Antonio and Seattle.

Course Reviews

  • I don't usually take the minutes for our staff meetings, but I was surprised how much was relevant and how much I learned about being more helpful and more professional in my job!"Individual Participant
  • Terry was a great teacher. I learnt how valuable my role is as the minute taker and I scheduled time with our Chairman after this course to ensure he was happy."Salus Aviation Limited
  • Interesting delivery for Minute taking. Never thought about the 'personality' aspect influencing the type/quality/delivery of Minutes before, so that was fascinating for me. Better dynamics with the tables and good to work in groups with different people for bouncing ideas and brainstorming. Theory based learning was also well presented. "UQ
