LESSON NOTES
============
To project presence and authority at a meeting, you need to pay attention to:
– how you look
– your posture
– where you sit
– your papers
– introducing yourself to people
– staying alert to what’s happening
– listening a lot
– only speaking when you have something worthwhile to say
– summarising and adding insights to what’s been said
– using your structured response formats: https://youtu.be/SB23yRpGFkE
RECOMMENDED EXERCISE
======================
1. If you have not done so, review the video ‘Attending Meetings – Structured Response Formats’ https://youtu.be/SB23yRpGFkE (That’s worth 3 MC CPD Points plus the points for doing the exercises – but only score them once! – if you choose to re-watch that video, 1 MC CPD Point)
2. Reflect on which strategies you already use and which ones you either don’t use, or do not use well. Identify the three strategies you think will have the biggest impact on your presence and authority, if you apply them effectively. Note them down for step 3. (2 MC CPD Points)
3. For the next 3 meetings that you are invited to, apply one of the strategies in this video in the first, add another in the second, and then apply three in the third meeting. Reflect on what improvement that makes. (3×2 MC CPD Points)
