5 Questions to ask yourself before that big meeting

Preparing for a crucial meeting? Elevate your insight by asking yourself these questions:

  1. What emotions or biases might influence my decision-making during the meeting? Acknowledging your emotional state can lead to more objective discussions.

  2. How can I actively engage all meeting participants, ensuring diverse perspectives are heard? Foster inclusivity for richer insights.

  3. What's the underlying story I want my data and arguments to convey? Craft a compelling narrative for impact.

  4. What's the worst-case scenario, and how can I handle it gracefully? Preparing for setbacks can boost your resilience.

  5. What's one innovative idea or approach I can introduce during the meeting to inspire creativity? Push the boundaries for fresh thinking.

By contemplating these questions, you'll approach your big meeting with a deeper level of preparedness, creativity, and emotional intelligence, increasing your chances of success.

Until next week,

Take care of yourself and others,
