Sailing as a sport, pastime or used as a business tool is exceedingly gratifying. There are also extraordinary yachting events which make it equally refreshing & can be something that the entire members of the family can go and experience all together.

With more than 900 boats and eight thousand members participating, being viewed by ninety-thousand viewers a day, Skandia Cowes week has been offered the name as one of the key yachting business hospitality and social occasion of the entire year.

The eight thousand five hundred sailors include Olympic and world class professionals to recently qualified sailors.

From private or commercial residential parties and nominally private yacht societies & boats, there are gigantic marquees setup in the docks providing canapés and drink.

For meetings to consistently deliver the required performance
and hence outputs, it is critical to have a prepared
communication process in advance of the meeting.

This enables participants to be aware and where appropriate
prepare for the meeting in advance.

It also allows for them to circulate any preparatory information
and pre-reading before the meeting to minimise any
information-giving during valuable meeting time.

This time when all participants are together must be devoted to
the interchange that can only happen when people are together.

The agenda format may vary, but it will need to have some
components which are common, as follows:-

* Location and time and who * Preparation required * Review of
previous agreed actions * Objectives * Items to be discussed *
Next meeting location and time * Review of meeting

By having this structure, it becomes possible for the right
people to attend and to:-

* Focus completely on outcome and purpose * Be prepared *
Develop meeting skills

Exercise

- Describe how you feel at the end of three different meetings
this week - some with and some without an agenda.

2. Plan one meeting this week for which you would normally not
have an agenda using the agenda detail provided in the workshop.

3. Discuss the benefits and concerns about using an agenda

Meetings are hugely valuable contribution ot business life, as
long as they work well. Preparing people in advance is ‘one

interactions of like minded people’.
