Meeting Etiquette

Listen More Than You Speak: Pay attention to others, make eye contact, and avoid distractions like phones or eating during meetings.
Importance of Note-Taking: Taking notes shows respect and demonstrates a willingness to contribute to the discussion.
Raising Your Hand: Raise your hand only to volunteer for a task or ask a question, not to offer ideas or criticism.
Avoid Sharing Ideas Before Proving Yourself: Focus on doing work, not just suggesting ideas, especially if you haven't established yourself as a reliable worker.
The Power of Action: Taking action and completing tasks earns respect and influence.
Be Attentive and Avoid Distractions: Being present and actively listening demonstrates engagement and contributes to a productive meeting.
Actions Speak Louder Than Words: Focus on contributing through work and action, not just by voicing opinions.
Respect Others' Time and Effort: If you aren't willing to contribute to the work, avoid offering suggestions or criticisms.
Contribute Through Active Listening: Offer support and encouragement, demonstrate that you're a team player.
Show Initiative Through Note Taking: Having both a notepad and a device demonstrates that you're prepared to actively engage and contribute.
