I go through all important steps along with a meeting minutes example for how to write meeting minutes like a professional - even if you are a beginner!
In this video, I show you my best tips for how to write meeting minutes. I show you how to prepare for the meeting by having a meeting minutes template to follow (along with my own meeting minutes example for how I write my meeting notes). I also recommend you to focus on some particular parts when actually taking minutes which are facts, decisions, actions, problems, questions and answers.
After you have written the meeting minutes down, I describe how to write meeting minutes by re-writing the notes so that it is clear and understandable to everyone. The last part is then to share and store the minutes!
Any questions you have about how to write meeting minutes will be answered here by my own knowledge and shown through my meeting minutes example.

Or, for enhanced efficiency, just don’t bother. Nobody is going to do any of the actions they’ve been assigned, and you will have exactly the same meeting next week anyway. Anybody who wants to know what was said at the first one can just turn up to the next one and hear it all repeated. Your problem is solved.

MEETING NOTES - very well done I thought, and I liked how you had it to be done "live". I hand write and "tick off" on he Agenda (notepad back up) and quickly can refresh that to be the Minutes. The problem I had with "live digital" - is that your role is to capture what the important points and to do that you need "focus" and put a laptop in front of people and they will start researching "on the spot" and will be looking at the mail, and "other tabs" and "other things" they need to get too or what is of interest to them. Motions, I will sometime say .. so-and-so we can refine this when I translate this to the Minutes .. but ideally, I say motions should kind of be cued or back-pocketed in the agenda (or certainly by the person running the meeting) so that he/she can efficiently and effectively handle it without people ended up doing the person's homework for them "live when it is due to be turned in". My theme is .. the more proactively handled the agenda is; the quicker and less drama the meeting and Minutes will be.

I haven't actually had that problem that people get too unfocused when having a laptop in front of them since we do almost 100% of our work of front of laptops right now, but I definitely see that people have different preferences for digital vs on paper!

Thanks Emelie! I have an interview for a meeting minute secretary position and this has been very helpful. I was wondering about the Headline section of the template.

Hello! I take minutes for board meetings at my job. Her suggestion is very helpful to help you stay on task while you’re going so you don’t write every little off-topic thing down. If allowed, it is helpful for me to record with voice memo on my phone and I jot those time recording marks down that I know I will want to listen to again. I hope this helps and good luck to you on your interview!
@cayelabauknecht2862
@cayelabauknecht2862 Рік тому
Also- depending on the style of notes that are required- we use summary bullet points under the agenda items. For example, the heading would read: Action Items assigned to John, and bullet points would be underneath.

Hi! I hope the interview will/has gone well :) Yes, as Cayeka also said, I usually do the headlines as the agenda (and then also break out the actions and a summary in addition to those) and under each headline, I usually do bullet points but will full sentences so you understand the whole context. I hope that helps!

I think that for important meetings like board meetings, management team meetings, steering group meetings etc it's really nice to have someone who can take notes. You can rotate who does it, and decide on a common space to save it. Other than that I think it's more up to every person to decide on how much notes you want to take :)

I have a decent shot at an Exec Assistant/Exec Secretary position (at a place actually willing to sponsor a TS/SCI clearance (vs coming into the door with one active)) coming up and apparently taking minutes is a big deal which I've never had to do actually in similar roles. How do you handle follow-ups and distributing the minutes or....do you have that covered in other vids? This is my first time seeing a vid of yours. Thanks so much!

Great, concise explanation! This may be a stupid question, but I've never worked with OneNote so far. In what ways is it more searchable than Word? Word has a search function and advanced search function, so I don't really understand what you're saying there? Thanks!
@emelielindstroem
@emelielindstroem 2 роки тому
Good question! Word is good at search when you are already in the right document. However, if you are wondering if the information you are looking for is in "doc A", "doc B" or "doc C" you would have to first open all of them and then search in every document to find what you are looking for, which becomes unsustainable if you have a lot of notes. In Onenote you can search in all notebooks at the same time :)

how do you record a 6 hour meeting with 12 people all participating and when they go off at a tangent from subject to subject - i end up with 10 pages of notes ?
@emelielindstroem
@emelielindstroem Рік тому
I guess it might be hard to do something there and then but that is usually avoided by setting a clear meeting agenda before even starting the meeting. Also, if there are breaks (which I really hope you have in meetings that are that long) it can be good to do a quick summary of the last part of the meeting in the break. Then I think the most important part is rewriting the notes in a summarised format after the meeting because no one will read 10 pages of notes but would appreciate an executive summary of the meeting in the meeting minutes

Any idea to wrote the notes during the meeting as the meeting host
@emelielindstroem
@emelielindstroem Рік тому
Unfortunately I think the main answer is practice. Now after four years of writing meeting minutes I can pretty much do an interview myself an transcribe it at the same time. So first see if you can get someone to come in and help you, secondly, I find that digital meeting are more easy to try it on, and then I also think it's good to say to whoever you are talking to that you are taking notes and that's why you might go quiet sometimes. I think that when you host meetings you could also try capturing the most important points durong the meeting and then sit down immediately after the meeting and write down everything you can remember. I hope that helps a bit at least

This is coming from someone that has never been in a meeting taking minutes. But my question is ... Can you voice record the meeting to come back to as to make sure notes are correct? Or is this unheard of?
@emelielindstroem

Of course you can record the meeting! Just make sure to have everyone's approval and then you can just go ahead :)

What If I dont know the terminology of the meeting. How do I make sense if this?
@emelielindstroem
@emelielindstroem Рік тому
That's a very good question. If you are in a circumstance where you are not familiar with the abbreviations, the people mentioned and the general context, I would recommend to ask someone to give you 5-10 minutes of their time to get you up to speed after the meeting so that you can ask questions like "What does ETM mean?", "You mentioned Thomas, which Thomas are we talking about?" and so on. Also, depending on how new you are to the topic it could be good to have someone give you an introduction before the meeting as well. Everyone saves time by helping you with that. Hope that helps :)

It depends on how important you think they are. If they are the same level of importance as the rest of the text, I would just keep it in the body of text. If you think it is important I would out it next to the actions :) Hope that helps!

ONE NOTE - for the life of me I never can "get it" as I always go back to Word - but it looks very efficient. Wonder why ... it is like people who use Excel extensively, even for writing letters .. I wonder how they ended up with that as their front end program go to. That said, Outlook is driving people crazy right now with Word especially as MicroSofts "accounting - bean counter" folks seem to have taken over the MANAGING duties (one could say Netflix has the same issue), so it is getting bulky (bloated with neglect of it core programming), and even if you pay for the full version you are getting a lot of layering that is actually not that transparent if you are paying attention (and I do not 95% of the time, but my brain is noticing and it triggers me with "come on people, I should not be doing this step, or seeing this message or setting change etc .. the OneDrive loading that file for THEM to profile/filter photos is it, that keeps coming back for instance .. hide again? come on this is annoying now and I do not trust you now).
@emelielindstroem
@emelielindstroem 10 місяців тому
That is interesting! I really dislike Word actually, but then again, I work as a consultant so Powerpoint is my to go-program for any type of information that I need to redistribute, my mind seems to be working much better visually than trying to put information together in text. When writing any type of notes I always use OneNote because it goes so much quicker to skim through notes and search for notes than it does in word where you have to open all the different documents and look through each one of them. I actually made a video where I go through how OneNote works and compares that to Word :D With that said, I think everyone should use whatever tool/program that works best for them :)
