We spend a lot of our working week in meetings, but how much impact are you having when you're in them? In this Shortcut, Helen shares three simple ways to increase your impact in every meeting…
I was reading an article in The Times recently that was talking about pointless meetings because the amount of time we are spending in meetings has gone up.
And there are some things that we can do, like simple things that we can all do to increase our impact in the meetings.
I think often when you are in something that frequently, it can be easy to fall into some unhelpful habits or patterns of behaviour where perhaps you are becoming a bit passive.
And that is a real missed opportunity for you to build your reputation, show up with your strengths.
So here is my recommendation for how you can increase your impact in every meeting.
It is based on three things which are hopefully easy to remember and I'm going to talk about each one.
