Courtesy has two components – our own state, and the impact that that state has on anther. In terms of our own state – we need to model behaviours such as listening, summarising accurately, and being…[Read more]

They are one of the major causes of meetings becoming aggressive train-wrecks. (To be continued)

This does not mean however that you should be afraid to speak your views or why else be there.  Its always a judgement call between professional integrity i.e. ‘I believe this needs to be said’ and pragmaitism i.e. ‘i need to keep my…[Read more]

There may be need for dietary provisions if providing meal or snacks e.g. kosher, halal, vegan etc.

If you are attending any meeting find out well beforehand the dress code for that meeting. Is it forma or casual? Does formal inclde a tie or juts open neck etc..?:

A light hearted amusing observation or a friendly slightly cheeky retort to a colleague may be fine to keep a good feel to a meeting and can often be good to loosen…[Read more]
