Be prepared. Always.
In this episode, we do a practical deep-dive into how I've learned to prepare for meetings. Whether it's a formal business meeting, casual coffee, dating happy hour, or dinner with the in-laws, you’ll find this episode to be helpful. Here are my "5 Steps to Curating the Perfect Meeting:"
1. Define why. (the O.D.O.)
2. Do your research. (know thy audience)
3. Anticipate anything.
4. Define next steps.
5. Be YOU.
I extrapolate on each of these and share personal experiences for how I’ve come to these action steps. As someone who has been in thousands of meetings, this episode comes from tried-and-true proof (informed by a fair amount of embarrassing failures). Knowing how to prepare for the perfect meeting will set you a part and ensure that every meeting you're in serves YOU and YOUR goals. Tune in, won’t you?
