SCRIPT, LISTENING TIPS, & GRAMMAR
Here is a work strategy / that (is) sure to eliminate a lot of stress. Keep meeting short and sweet. Meetings are great tools for focusing in objectives, assigning tasks, measuring progress or motivating a group. But they can also be horrendous time wasters. Don’t schedule a meeting unless you have ample reason to justify one. Have an agenda / and stick to it. Don’t let others digress / or use it as a platform to showcase their speaking abilities.
Another tip, stagger the arrival or departure of those / who need to be there entire the time. And enjoy the fewer, more productive / anxiety free meetings. Why make yourself crazy? Everyone talks about the value of freedom, but how many of us actually use our freedom? Don’t miss my next stress tip, I’m G. Gaynor McTigue!

- Well, make it a
short and focused meeting! Pretty
good tip, but who doesn’t want to do that?
Unfortunately, a period of a meeting depends on the nature of a
boss, not on the members in most cases.
Some bosses use meetings as not only a platform to show off, but also a place to show who the boss is. Blah, blah, blah… for hours of self appraisal … whenever I have to be in that kind of meeting, I usually write letters to my family, friends, so on.
Writing letters could be often very effective way of showing (pretentious) respect to those bosses because they think I’m taking notes on what they are blabbing about,: I’m serious about what you ‘re talking! Then, you spend some quality time on writing to your loved ones while others are suffering from those meaning less “How great I am, so look at me kind of speech…!”
Of course, you always want to keep another eye and ear open to the people… because you don’t want to get caught on what you do during the meeting…!
