Awesome Meeting Participation – It’s the Little Things…

We spend a lot of time in meetings, and whether you want to agree or not, impressions are made – not only about you – but about all the meeting participants.

  • People who lead great meetings are seen as leaders.
  • People who interrupt or grandstand in meetings are seen as selfish or rude.
  • People who arrive late continually are thought to be disorganized.
  • People who show respect and appreciation are valued.
  • People who show up unprepared are seen to be unfocused or even lazy
  • People who arrive early and prepared are seen to be in control.
  • People who have side conversations are seen to be _____________________ (you fill in the blank)
  • People who show interest and engagement are _____________________________
  • People who check their cell phones (too) often are thought to be ______________________

Nuff said? What impression are you managing with your meeting participation?
