Meetings: Because You Can't Avoid 'Em

Selective Hearing Tips

When attending meetings, it's essential to master the art of selective hearing. Here are some tips to help you achieve this elusive goal:

Tune out the speaker's voice and focus on the sound of your own voice.
Develop a keen sense of hearing loss, so you can claim "I didn't hear you" when necessary.
Practice your "I'm not listening" face in the mirror until it becomes second nature.
When in a meeting, stare intensely at a random point on the wall, as if mesmerized by the texture.
