Meeting Planner: Team-Building Edition

Siesta Survival Tips

Warning: Meetings can be hazardous to your sanity. To survive them with your team, follow these tips:

• Avoid eating anything with a high water content. You don't want to be that person who needs to leave the room for 30 minutes to "powder their nose."
• Don't try to be the "fun" meeting person. Just don't.
• Take notes, but only if you're actually paying attention. Otherwise, just pretend.
• When in doubt, blame the intern.
• Never, ever, ever, EVER check your phone during a meeting. Unless it's to check if it's really just you and the coffee machine.
