  <p>Our admin assistant selects the date and time, and the staff member that will be meeting with the client and creates the meeting activity. The creation generates an email and sends the notification to the staff. Which is all great.</p>

  No there is nothing in CiviCRM that can do this currently.
  
  For anyone using Drupal (I realise this user is on Joomla) then you could make a Views Calendar of Events and that could be used to view existing meetings, including filtering by contact.
