BEFORE THE MEETING 40%
CHAPTER 4: WHY ME? PREPARE YOURSELF
Before any meeting, pause however briefly to ask yourself:
- Why am I going to this meeting?
- What difference can I make?
- How can I prepare for the business?
- How can I prepare myself to work with this group?
- Can I prepare for the unexpected?

A story: Meeting the unexpected – a pivotal 47 minutes
“In a busy work environment Meeting Together has
provided me with considerable insight and offered cohesion and focus
to the processes that can easily become rambling, stale or un-engaged.
If for you the – ‘how you get there’ is as important
as ‘getting there’, take some time to read Meeting
Together or, like me, have it by your side for insight to fuel
your meetings and participation in them.”
