Day 218 of 2025-Improving Meeting Preparation

 Hi Friends,

As leaders of our own work and lives, preparation isn’t optional it’s essential. Today’s meeting reminded me why. The organizer hadn’t reviewed the agenda or the documents we’d agreed to discuss. When we finally convened, she fumbled for the file, kept us waiting, and then proceeded to call on each attendee one by one despite not having the information at her fingertips. By the time it was my turn to speak, thirty minutes had passed, and my valuable time had been lost.

I believe that respect for others’ time begins with being fully prepared. Before every meeting, I review the materials, confirm that I have the correct files, and arrive ready to contribute. When anyone shows up unprepared, it not only derails productivity but also signals a lack of consideration for colleagues who have set aside their schedules.

Preparation isn’t just about checking boxes; it’s a demonstration of leadership. When we take the time to prepare in advance, we foster efficient discussions, drive meaningful outcomes, and inspire confidence in our teams. Let this be a reminder: do the work ahead of time, arrive ready, and elevate every meeting to the standard of excellence we all deserve.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Monita
