How to write meeting minutes at work? As a management consultant, you're going to have to take meeting minutes and take notes in work meetings. Hopefully this is a quick overview of key things you need to write down, especially digital notes in any corporate job that you'll be doing.

NOTE:
1) Change fonts / colours to your firm branding
2) Add a client logo in the top right
3) Delete things you don't need
4) Rename the document name

thank you.
As a side note, love how you kept this snappy. Many youtubers speak too slow or upload too-long videos.

Just got a job as a senior consultant, going through all of your videos, feeling lucky to find such useful videos. Thanks Kajol. 😀

Super duper helpful tips! I’ve always struggled with summarising and writing straightforward lecture notes, meeting minutes etc. I will definitely try this in the near future ❤️

what i find really difficult with business requirement meetings is that so many people are saying different/conflicting things about the same topic (stakeholders, subject experts, etc) and it just goes around and around. eventually, someone says "ok let's go with that" but at that point im still writing down the 5th suggestion and i end up missing what "that" is cause so many solutions were discussed thoroughly to get where we ended up. any tips on how to improve following where the decisions eventually land?

This is great. I'm using your video and template in my Business English class tomorrow. Thanks a million👍

[sophiandiga]

Great tips!
Maybe you could consider a slower pace in subsequent videos.
Tip: Pause for a few seconds before moving to a new point...
Thank you!

Nice, your style is similar to mine for taking minutes.

If the minutes are going to someone pretty high up, it help to ask someone you work with who knows them. Ask what is the best way to make the minutes easy to read.

Showing a real life example would be great.

[meenapandit]

It's informative... However after watching video I got breathing problem.
Advice for you, u can take a pause of at least 1sec. After completing a sentence.

[alisherakhmadjonov]

That's a great video to send to some people 👀😂

[felicitysmoakandwillgraham]

Can u add annex or attachments to minutes of meeting? Like the documents presented and used during the meeting?

[simranb]

Great video! Would love a link/ downloadable version of this template if you could add it in the description or comments section!

Really informative and helpful, thank you. If you could slow it down just a bit, it would make it a little easier to take notes. :)
