Here’s our manifesto for meetings ✍️ With the UK general election happening tomorrow, we thought we’d get in the spirit of things by writing a quick manifesto for meetings at work. 🙅 No scheduling meetings over lunch time, after 5pm on a Friday, or during Euro fixtures  🙅 No setting up meetings without a clear agenda (especially if it’s your manager asking for a ‘quick word’) 🙅 No organizing meetings that could have been an email 🙅 No taking meetings at your desk without headphones 🙅 No using a massive boardroom for a two-person meeting 🙅 No asking ‘can you see my screen?’ (yes, we can) 🙅 No saying ‘I’m going to give you 10 minutes of your life back!’ Got any more to add? Let us know in the comments 👇 #Office #Workplace #Manifesto

Unsolicited advice for every #meeting organizer: To keep people's attention, leave the biz-speak back in your office. And oh yeah -- keep it short. #WhenMeetingsGetBoring #businesscoaching

We need a version of the yamraj for office meetings, the office should have a board "Do meeting responsibly", the "drink responsibly" version for offices. Meetings are a two-edged sword, it cuts you more often than the purpose :). Biggest pitfall: It gives you a 10x higher feeling of achievement than what it achieves - Just because you said, it won't get done - Just because you taught, others will not learn - Just because you warned, it will not be avoided Just because you did a meeting, it won't get executed Don't be fooled by the feeling of meeting, we all need to rethink our meeting strategies, we are calling a meeting today to discuss the same :)

Hey busy professionals! 🌟 As we navigate the hustle and bustle of Q4 with budgeting for 2025, client meetings, and holiday festivities, let's remember some essential unspoken rules in business that are all about common courtesy. 🤝 Rule 1: When scheduling a Zoom meeting, send the invite promptly after receiving a YES to secure the slot. Remember, the requester should be the sender of the invite. ⏰ Rule 2: If you're running late from a previous call, shoot a quick email to the next meeting's attendees. Transparency goes a long way in respecting everyone's time. ⌛ Rule 3: Punctuality is key! If you anticipate being more than 5 minutes late, consider rescheduling. And if joining late, think twice to avoid disruptions. 💬 Rule 4: Keep your sales pitch concise! Aim for 20 minutes or less, allowing time for questions. Balance is key – if your presentation monopolizes the entire call, it might be time for a rethink. Let's uphold these simple yet impactful guidelines to foster smoother and more respectful interactions in our professional endeavors. #BusinessEtiquette #Professionalism #CourtesyInTheWorkplace #meetings
