Meetings are a gathering of two or more people who come together to accomplish what one person cannot. Meetings help create a team atmosphere and cultivate collaboration. At some point in your life, you will be asked to attend a meeting. Sometimes meetings get a bad rap, but good planning can turn all that around!<\/p>\n

Here are some tips for attending the meeting:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Know the expectations. Is this a one-time meeting or are you serving on a team that includes regularly scheduled meeting?<\/em> Know ahead of time what the meetings look like and be committed to attending.<\/li>\n
  2. Everybody is busy. Respect the leader and the others on your team and be on time. Better yet, be five minutes early. If every meeting falls at a time that is difficult for you, talk to the leader. Be flexible and be committed.<\/li>\n
  3. Put away the things that will distract you and concentrate on the topic at hand.<\/li>\n
  4. Be willing to compromise or at least reach a consensus. (A consensus means you may not all agree, but you\u2019ve settled on something that everyone can support.)<\/li>\n
  5. Keep things confidential.<\/li>\n
  6. Submit ideas ahead of time. If you have issues you\u2019d like to discuss or something to share, let your leader know ahead of time and be prepared to share.<\/li>\n
  7. Make a plan to follow up, follow through and encourage others on the team.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
