HOW TO ACE ANY MEETING - Location, Location

Good day bloggers - my apologies for falling so far behind on my blogs - this is Tuesday 3rd's post.

I am told that a survey shows that sitting in the correct location, when attending a meeting - particularly if that meeting is going expect me to answer questions or even ask them, will assist with alleviating stress.

Apparently a survey that was taken shows that about 65% of us sit next to our closet allies, in a meeting and/or any other type of stressful situations. Whilst this makes sense to most of us, I am assured that sitting opposite them is much better. You see, if you are looking at a friendly face - you will be encouraged and will become more confident and therefore be able to perform at your best ability.

Another tip is to direct at least half of your attention to your immediate supervisor (or whomever it is that you would report into and who is at the meeting) and always sit up straight. You slope backwards or lounge about - the perception is that you have a lack of conviction about what it is that you are saying. Sloping forward, on the other hand indicates aggressivenesss.

Be properly prepared and have your notes in front of you in case you should 'freeze' and or lose your thread.

Good luck on your meetings!
