Lead The Pack!



In today’s high tech corporate world, teleconferencing

has become one of the most useful tools to facilitate

increased productivity. It is also a very effective

way of alleviating wastage be it time or resources.



Many of us have been at meetings or seminars where we

find ourselves drifting off into our own little world

whether it be through boredom or tiredness. However,

there are several ways to ensure that this kind of

meeting stays on track.



Consider producing an agenda which can be easily

distributed to all parties prior to the conference. In

this way candidates will be more prepared with

suggestions or questions when the meeting commences.



Start on time. Yes, that sounds very simplistic, but

what is the point is saving costs on traveling and

accommodation if you waste everyone’s time who is

attending? Remember the old saying ‘time is money’ and

try to stay strictly to the timetable.



Make sure everyone dials in on time. Again, no point

in having all those people sitting around just because

of a late phone call.



When it is your turn to speak, state your name so that

your voice will begin to be recognized. People should

be concerned about what you are saying and not wasting

effort trying to figure out who said what!



Above all else, try to get people involved with the

subject matter. It can be difficult to judge how a

meeting is being perceived when you don’t have the

luxury of observing body language.
