August 23-24 @ 1 : 00 PM – 4 : 00 PM ET

LIVE WORKSHOP – Only $595
Minute taking is one of the most important elements of any business meeting. It’s almost like a lost art. That’s one of the reasons I created Minute Taking Made Easy. I know how stressful it can be when you are asked to take minutes in any meeting, (board meetings, retreats, staff meetings, committee meetings, even our new online meetings – you name it), especially if you have not received formal training. The truth of the matter is everyone faced with the task of taking notes experiences some level of discomfort and uncertainty. It doesn’t have to be that way, especially when you receive professional training to enhance your skills. My techniques focus on reality and not theory. I developed the Minute Taking Made Easy process based on real-world experience. This training will make your job easier, reduce stress and save you time. There is no second-guessing once you are familiar with the right way to take minutes. Minute Taking Made Easy works regardless of your situation.
Minute Taking Made Easy includes the following instruction and support materials:

Different formats, where, when, how and why to use them
A reference manual & 1 year of complimentary follow up
What to write down and what NOT to write down
How to listen and what to listen for
New techniques to make minute taking EASY!
Professional tips so you know what to include and what not to include in your final draft

The Minute Taking Made Easy training helps you take quick, accurate and relevant minutes. This training prepares you for all elements of minute taking (and it takes the stress out of the process for you). The training is immediately applicable and designed for the inexperienced through very experienced minute takers. Plus, this program is in compliance with recertification guidelines for IAAP (International Association of Administrative Professionals) and AAP (Association of Administrative Assistants).
The Minute Taking Made Easy Training will:

Give you confidence and you’ll know you are taking notes the right way
Teach you professional tips, techniques and shortcuts to save time
Provide you with highly marketable skills at an incredibly affordable price
Give you additional credentials to add to your resume
Increase your employers confidence that you are completing documentation correctly in accordance to compliance guidelines

I’ve been teaching Minute Taking Made Easy since 1998. The program is fully guaranteed and I’m always humbled when I hear how my training has helped thousands of administrative professionals save time, reduce stress and even get promotions. I am told my training is considered #1 in the industry worldwide.
For administrative professionals who want to save time, reduce stress and take quick, accurate minutes.
Minute Taking Made Easy is perfect for you when:

The thought of taking minutes makes you sweat (the truth is most people get really nervous about taking minutes)
You’ve only received minute taking examples from others (and you’re not sure that they are right)
You’ve just been asked to start taking minutes or have been taking minutes and haven’t received any formal training (and want to make sure you’re doing it the right way)
Taking minutes during an online meeting is new (let’s take the stress away and show you what you need to keep track of!)
Too much time is spent stressing and second guessing whether you’re taking minutes the right way (there is an easy formula that’s actually fun)
You’re feeling stress and pressure about your reputation in workplace if you don’t complete the minutes correctly (the potential loss of prestige is a real concern and can affect job security)
You’d like to apply for a new position but it requires minute taking skills and you haven’t been trained (Minute Taking Made Easy can give you the skills you need to get that promotion)
You didn’t even know a Minute Taking Made Easy training course existed (you actually have options for In-House, Online, Webinar, or Public training programs)

Workshops include:

Two half-days (three hours each) of intensive and surprisingly fun training from August 23-24, 2023 @1:00 – 4:00 PM ET
Interactive, hands on training with minute taking on the spot. You’ll be working in teams, breakout rooms, anonymous polling, and quizzes to increase retention!
One year of coaching with Rhonda to continually sharpen your minute taking skills
60 days recording of sessions so you can review what you’ve learned to reinforce the learning

Introduction to Minute Taking
2024-08-08 14:00 - 15:00 UTC
LEARNING TO TAKE MINUTES WILL SAVE YOU TIME AND FRUSTRATION!
Have you ever avoided applying for a job because it indicated you needed minute taking skills?
Do you avoid eye contact at a meeting when they are looking for a minute taker? Maybe even come to the meeting deliberately late so that you won’t be chosen?
Does the thought of taking minutes scare you to death? Worry that you don’t have shorthand and can’t write fast enough?
You are not alone.
Most people learn to take minutes from copying the previous minute takers example, but what if you have no previous example? What happens if what they have created in the past doesn’t make sense to you? Most people are not even remotely confident when it comes to taking minutes because they were never taught how to take minutes.
Our introductory webinar “Introduction to Minute Taking” will give you the skills you need to get started. We will ensure you walk into your next meeting knowing you can do what they need you to do.
It will cover:

The purpose of minutes (what are they designed to do)
What should minutes contain (and why)
What should they not contain (and why not)
Why you shouldn’t be taking verbatim minutes and how to take minutes without the common ‘Mary said, Bob said’ mistake
Quick tips and tricks to get you ON THE RIGHT TRACK in your next meeting

I’ve been teaching the full day course on Minute Taking Made Easy for over 25 years and have extracted the tips you need to get started quickly and properly. Tried and true with thousands of graduates, this webinar will be your saving grace (to your current job, or your future job).
No more worrying that you didn’t capture what everyone said. Don’t worry that you missed the important information. You won’t. You’ll make it look like you’ve been taking minutes for years.
Get ON THE RIGHT TRACK with our very popular webinar “Introduction to Minute Taking” today.

Price of the workshop includes:

Live Q&A session following presentation
Recording of session (available for 60 days)
30 days free email one-on-one coaching

Advanced Minute Taking - Motions & Voting
2026-04-09 14:00 - 15:00 (America/New_York) | Online
Advanced Minute Taking – Motions & Bylaws
Do you ever second-guess yourself when taking minutes? Do you wonder if you really are completing your minutes in the proper/legal way? How much is too much information and how much isn’t enough when documenting decisions, discussions, and voting?
Minute Taking is a skill that needs to be learned and perfected. Just taking down what happens in the meeting isn’t going to be enough if your minutes end up in court. Learn how to protect your company and it’s officers. Discuss what needs to be captured during discussions and decisions, and why.
Here’s What You’ll Learn:

The proper way to document a motion
Voting– including votes for and against, as well as those who abstain
What to do when a vote is tied
How to edit a motion after it has been voted on
Documenting amendments
Online voting
Approval of previous minutes when there are changes to the document
Who can make motions and who can’t
Tips on consolidating the discussion instead of capturing who said what.

Take your Minute Taking skills to the next level with our one-hour advance session on Motions and Voting.
Price of the workshop includes:

Interactive delivery – ask questions anytime, join in our polls, quizzes, and games in real-time
Recording of session (available for 60 days)
30 days free email one-on-one coaching
Your interactive workbook will be sent to you in advance of the workshop
