Thanks so much for contacting me with your Minute Taking Made Easy training needs. I'm hoping that I'll be able to come into your location and teach the program to your team so that everyone understands how to take minutes, so that there is consistency across the organization, and so that your admin team doesn't hate taking minutes in the future :-)
If you check out my LinkedIn profile you will find many testimonials, specifically for this program. If preferred, I can give you many additional testimonials from both US and Canadian based clients.
I've been teaching Minute Taking Made Easy for over 20 years now, and have found great success with the program. I've attached a more detailed outline for you to look in this proposal.
In the 20+ years I've been teaching this program, I have never received one complaint about the program nor the delivery. I am considered the best in US/Canada for this program (or so I've been told several times). Not only do I make Minute Taking "easy", I actually make the entire program fun too! (much to the surprise of many attendees).
To find out more about me, you can check out my websites at http://www.on-the-right-track.com and www.MinuteTakingMadeEasy.com. If you are interested in other programs, I do specialize in Admin Assistants and have many programs to offer: The Amazing Assistant, Professional Effectiveness etc. (all information on my website). I can send you detailed outlines so don't hesitate to let me know.
Hope this helps answer your questions. Please do not hesitate to call me anytime.

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 – 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. My techniques focus on reality--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 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
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)
• Too much time is spent stressing & second-guessing if you’re taking minutes the right way (there is an easy formula that’s actually fun)
