About This Course

Making an impact and achieving the outcomes you want is essential for any business professional—and much of that happens in meetings. Whether you're leading or participating, how you show up in a meeting can shape how others perceive your professionalism, leadership, and effectiveness. If not managed well, meetings can become time-wasters that highlight weaknesses instead of results.

This course will teach you how to maximize the value of every meeting you attend or lead. You’ll learn how to prepare with purpose, communicate with clarity, and drive discussions toward productive outcomes. With the right approach, meetings become an opportunity to demonstrate leadership, strengthen relationships, and deliver real business value.

Credit Information

Is this course eligible for my CPD requirements as a Canadian CPA?

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.

Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
