TEAM meeting confidential

People attend meetings for a wide variety of reasons, including work, personal interests and leisure activities.

Most people will have to participate in meetings at some point in their lives, and many people do so on a regular basis.

A meeting can be divided into the following three main components:

Content is the knowledge, information, experience, expertise, opinions, ideas, attitudes and expectations that each individual brings to a meeting. Interaction is the way in which the participants work together to deal with the content of a meeting. This includes the feelings, attitudes and expectations of the participants which have a direct bearing on co-operation, listening, participation and trust. Structure is the way in which both the information and the participants are organised to achieve the purpose/objectives of the meeting.
