Points to keep in mind, before the meeting..

*Blog on effective meeting: Meetings!! Do we really waste time?

Does the meeting have a clear, communicated

purpose?

4

Do ensure sharing the agenda detailing ‘why’ you want others to join the meeting. This saves time and effort in sharing the details at

the beginning of the meeting.

Are the relevant people invited?

5

Check if there are all the relevant people invited and confirmed attendance. If not, get

them first.

Is appropriate time allocated to the agenda

items?

6

Ensure every item gets a fair share of time in the meeting. Choking blood to one part of your body is not healthy!

Does your meeting meet

accessible standards?

7

Share the presentation, if there is one, before hand, even if you have an online tool. All sharing tools are not accessible. Be kind.

Let’s learn to be better

presenters!
