Week 5: Leading Great Meetings that Inspire Action

Enrollment leaders spend a significant portion of their work in meetings — from team huddles to cross-functional discussions to high-stakes admission committees. And yet, too often, these meetings consume time without producing the momentum or decisions leaders need. When designed with intention, meetings can do more than exchange information; they can strengthen alignment, deepen connection, and move work forward with purpose.
This session gives enrollment leaders practical tools to lead meetings that matter: gatherings that engage people, invite meaningful participation, and keep the focus on what truly advances the mission. Participants will learn how to structure agendas, shape discussions that include all voices, and turn conversation into clear commitments and action. A well-designed meeting is one of the most visible expressions of leadership culture. When leaders design with purpose, people leave energized, informed, and confident about what comes next. 

You will leave with: an agenda template and facilitation guide for meetings that inspire action.
