Business Meeting Etiquette

Building on our blog last week, How to sound more professional in emails, we bring you some advice on business meetings. Specifically, how to act and the proper etiquette in those meetings. Nothing is worse than embarrassing yourself at a high profile meeting in your company. But follow these tips and you should be okay. Our boardrooms are great for professional business meetings. Meeting Etiquette Come Prepared Don’t show up to a meeting without anything prepared. Especially if it was asked of you.

Motivation Means Being Interested

One of the biggest pitfalls of being inside a long term career is losing motivation in what you do. It all starts to become second nature and we no longer challenge ourselves to change. Being constantly interested in what you are doing and what you want to accomplish is critical if you want to become and stay success in business. Motivation and Staying Interested Work-Life Balance An often difficult aspect of a full time career is keeping work and life separate, if you aren’t able to keep these two things separate then you might become dis-interested and lose motivation in both. You need to keep you work exciting and interesting while you keep your personal life new and exciting. Staying engaged with things outside of work will translate to your attitude at work.
