Devices Down - Unless the meeting calls for you to actively be on your laptop, tablet or phone, put your device(s) away and give your full attention to the meeting presenter. Body Language - Be aware of how you're presenting yourself: you can’t just turn your camera off or hit “mute” when in-person.Stay Focused - Create an agenda and stick to it: no one likes a drawn out meeting and it’s a lot more distracting when attendees have to physically leave the room if a meeting goes long.Engage - Everyone invited to a meeting has a valuable perspective that deserves to be heard, so speak up. Own Your Role - Show up prepared to do your part: a meeting is at its most effective when everyone plays their role to the best of their ability.Keep It Constructive - If a conflict arises, try not to challenge an individual: instead keep it about the work and challenge the idea. Have Fun - Meetings are an opportunity for people to come together to share, learn and discuss, so enjoy this opportunity to collaborate and make the most of it.
