Before we speak about what you'll learn let me frustrate you a little bit by showing you what you won't learn here:
This is not an academic course: I won't reference big authors or fancy theories, but rather share stories and anecdotes to make it feel more down to earth.
This is not a complete course: After you have followed this course you won’t be a professional meeting facilitator but you'll have simple tips that you can implement already today.
If you wanted any of these things please stop here or you'll be frustrated. I have created another learning resource where I share links to more advanced courses which might be more interesting for you.
