The Ultimate Guide for How to Take Minutes and Notes at Meetings (for Administrative Professionals or Anyone Taking Minutes at Meetings)

 

Description:  If you're an administrative assistant or executive assistant and your manager or executive recently asked you to take minutes at a meeting and your heart fluttered with panic, it's time to get a hold of yourself. Taking minutes at meetings appears scary at first glance -- until you know exactly what minute taking really is and how you do it.

 

"The digital information on minute taking is proving very helpful to me. My supervisor was very pleased that I found this resource!"

Thank you very much,
 Rebecca

 

In this publication, you'll learn what minutes are and what minutes are not; why minutes are useful and important (there really are some good reasons); what types of meetings you might take minutes at; who the attendees really are and where you put them on the minutes; how to prepare to take minutes (that's half the job right there); how to actually take notes for minutes at meetings, and how to type them up later to form the final minutes; plus lots more.

 

You'll learn some basic definitions for words like motion and quorum, and get some ideas to "troubleshoot" things that might happen while minute taking that affect you and your job at hand.

 

"So often secretaries/assistants are pushed into taking meeting notes and sometimes are unfamiliar with the topic - or unclear as to what exactly constitutes 'minutes'. This [tips publication] topic was a very effective tool in order to get the job done and feel confident in its quality.

...very informational - basically an 'everything you'd ever want to know' guide."

If you've never taken minutes at meetings or never do this task as well as you'd like to, then this tips publication written specifically for administrative assistants and executive assistants should improve your minute-taking skills significantly.

 

"I purchased the Meeting Minutes [guide] because I was struggling with how much detail to include in the minutes. Very useful. Gave good reasons for what should be included and when."
