100 Ways to Succeed #145:
How You Gonna Make "It" Special?
Please Have A Good Answer!
How are you going to get past the "wishitweres," and make the next meeting, the next 15 minutes special, fully participate therein? (PLEASE ASK YOURSELF THAT QUESTION. RIGHT NOW.)
Yeah, I know, for example, "another damn meeting." Well, much of your professional life will consist of one "damn meeting" after another "damn meeting." Do you really want to bitch them all away? I just read something somewhere about someone of import (??) who turned meetings of every shape and flavor into gold mines—opportunities to learn from others, to help herself grow, to help others grow, to learn how to surface submerged conflict and benefit therefrom, etc, etc.*
I repeat: How are you going to make the next meeting, the next 15 minutes special, fully participate therein? (Ask yourself this question as a matter of routine.)
