Pre Meeting, Meeting, Post Meeting — Leveraging the Pre and Post

We all hate meetings. Maybe not all of us. My therapist said I wasn’t supposed to use words like always or never, but I am pretty sure we all hate meetings. Yet we have them because… Well, we have them because that is the way we work. I am not totally sure who came up with this idea, but we have meetings. And no matter how I try, we will not bet getting rid of them any time soon. They might, in fact, be getting worse. So what do we do about them? First, we have to learn to use them to our advantage. But how, you ask? Let me tell you. Before the meeting, there is the Pre Meeting, then there is the Meeting, and after the meeting, there is the Post Meeting. Of the three of these, the least important is the meeting. I may have made up the Pre-meeting and Post-meeting because I am not sure they are a thing, but they should be. They are also not actually meetings per see, but they are activities that will help you leverage your time and increase your influence. So let me explain why the Pre and Post are so much more important than the actual meeting and the reasons to use each pre and post. Before we get into what is best for pre and post, let’s discuss the activities that make up the work that is a part of the pre and post. The following is a list of Pre and Post Meeting activities. You are smart, so you will know which to pick in the right situation, and you will know the right person to talk with. Usually, it is the person who has the most authority, most influence, or who scheduled the meeting. <a href="https://chrisjterrell.medium.com/pre-meeting-meeting-post-meeting-leveraging-the-pre-and-post-5286c2170322">Click Here</a>
