However, there are always some things that just slip through the cracks. Just as there are many tips and techniques that can add value to your meeting or<\/span>seminar<\/b>, there are also a few mistakes that can totally ruin an event that you have spent weeks preparing.<\/span><\/p>\n

Team spirit<\/b>,\u00a0<\/span>unity<\/b>,\u00a0<\/span>motivation<\/b>,\u00a0<\/span>self-confidence<\/b>,\u00a0<\/span>independence<\/b>,\u00a0<\/span>creativity<\/b>\u2026 If you want to encourage all these things to shine and ensure the success of your meeting, here are <\/span>six mistakes to avoid in meetings<\/b> selected by our Accor specialists.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

There’s nothing worse than attendees walking into a meeting without knowing what it\u2019s about. <\/span>A meeting without an agenda has several consequences<\/b>: poorly prepared and unfocused participants, an unproductive meeting and a\u00a0<\/span>loss of credibility<\/b>\u00a0for the organizer.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Mistake #3 \u2013 Tolerating inappropriate comments or behaviour<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

A meeting should be neither a dull monotonous affair nor a chaotic mess. It\u2019s up to you to<\/span>create a dynamic and friendly environment<\/b>\u00a0using your creativity (background music, welcome video, posters, post-its, materials, etc.), but you also have to keep this positive dynamic going.<\/span><\/p>\n

Be\u00a0<\/span>friendly<\/b>,\u00a0<\/span>understanding<\/b>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>attentive<\/b>, but make sure you have zero tolerance regarding any\u00a0<\/span>lack of discipline<\/b>. This applies to both comments and attitudes or the use of mobile phones.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If a disruptive attendee doesn\u2019t change their behavior despite being made aware of the rules and being warned, ask them to leave for the benefit of the group.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Mistake #4 \u2013 Getting lost in the details of your speech<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Many organizers believe they are doing the right thing by preparing extensive notes and highly detailed PowerPoint presentations. However, your notes and slides should really only act as a skeleton, a support to help guide your audience.<\/span><\/p>\n

Detach yourself from your notes<\/b>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>avoid endless monologues<\/b>\u00a0that bore participants and prevent them from thinking critically.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t\t \n\t\t\t

Mistake #5 \u2013 Not getting participants actively involved<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Some organizers try to carry the weight of the meeting alone, forgetting that it is a great opportunity to exchange ideas and best practices. Don\u2019t be too rigid and don\u2019t just make it a series of monologues.<\/span><\/p>\n

Get participants to express their opinions, ask them questions, stimulate their curiosity and<\/span>organize workshops<\/b>\u00a0that encourage teamwork and reflection. Brainstorming is excellent for encouraging a group to get more active and involved.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Mistake #6 \u2013 Ending meetings without making decisions<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

A classic mistake is to develop a concept, present a product or reveal a strategy and then just ask participants if they have understood everything. Almost nobody will dare to say no. Look at their reactions to try to gauge how they are thinking and above all, never end your meeting without making one or more decisions.<\/span><\/p>\n
