Woohoo, you’re on to your second chapter!

So far you have learned how to prepare for a meeting, now we are going to take a look at what you need to remember when Attending or Hosting a Meeting.

In the previous lesson, you learned about asking yourself questions before attending the meeting in order to ensure you had already visualized the desired outcome for the meeting. This chapter will now move you into the boardroom so to speak and how to handle yourself once you walk through the door.

On a side note, if you haven't signed up for the ‘Social Brand of You’ course, you would be doing yourself a major disservice. That course is the perfect complement to this course as it gives you all the necessary social skills to become the most captivating person in the room.  Why this is important is because people need to like you before they want to work with you. If people like you, studies show that they will go out of their way to find a reason to work with you. Become more likable and get more business!
