Join the Life in Government Community
The Life in Government Community is a collaborative space designed for Apolitical members to connect with peers in the global public service and ask and answer questions on life in government.
Event Description
Bad meetings — no participation, action points don’t exist — can leave you feeling drained. In today's professional environment, the art of running effective meetings is a valuable skill that will set you apart.
For public servants, well-run meetings are the cornerstone of collaboration and progress. This masterclass will provide you with the tools and techniques to ensure your meetings are productive and time-efficient. You'll learn how to set clear agendas, facilitate inclusive discussions and drive actions.

Richard Nugee, a General who was commissioned into the British Army in 1986. He completed operational tours of Northern Ireland, Bosnia, Kosovo, Iraq, Cyprus and Afghanistan. He also specialised in personnel (HR) roles culminating in Chief of Defence People (equivalent to Global HR Director for Defence). After a full operational career in the British Army, as his final role he wrote a Review of Defence's approach to Climate Change and Sustainability. He has since earned international recognition for bringing the implications of Climate Change and Sustainability to the Defence and National Security sectors. Previously the Non Executive Director for Climate Change and Net Zero for the Ministry of Defence, he has expanded this policy interest into delivery, as the Chair, Director and Advisor of a number of renewable energy and environmental sustainability start-ups.
