Successful Meetings and Minutes

Grace  Jordan

I really enjoyed my session with Pitman, Alice was so informative and helpful but also kept it light and relaxed. I would definitely recommend Pitman for anyone looking for training.  

Katherine Gough

Very good course, very informative. Really to the point and quite literally showed how to take successful minutes. 

Connie Hatcher

Chelsea Campbell

Very informative course. Alice is a great teacher & I look forward to attending more seminars with her. 

Rosalind Springer

It was a very good day, we had a small group and we were able to discuss our experiences. The trainer was very informative, approachable, and took her time to answer our questions. We learned about different types of meetings, the roles of the attendee and minute taker and the role of the chair etc. We did a note taking practice of listening to a recording and to see how much we could take down. As the trainer was a teacher, she was able to observe how we were writing and gave us tips on posture and how best to write and the type of pen and note taking books we should use.
We also learned that it's good to be assertive in a meeting to ask questions if we are not sure about something that was said, to help us take an accurate recording of the meeting.  Most of all we are the most important person at the meeting as we are taking a record of the meeting.

Elizabeth  Cox

I always hate attending these workshops in person and find them draining and a waste of time but Alice made it very enjoyable and done a great job in involving everyone. Glad I attended, thank you!

I found the session enormously helpful. As a group we were all very much at different levels of experience with the subject matter. Alice managed to make the whole session feel very inclusive. It was a great balance between listening and participating. I also liked the fact that Alice managed to give us helpful information on how to progress outside of the session.
