Meeting Protocols - Prophet's Guide
Chapter 1: The Art of Not Actually Doing Anything
When attending a meeting, it's not about actually accomplishing anything, it's about making eye contact and pretending you're engaged. Here are some tips:
- Nod your head vigorously, even if you have no idea what the other person is saying.
- Use the phrase "That's interesting" at least 5 times per conversation.
- Take out your phone and start browsing through emails, but only if it's not during a particularly interesting part.
Chapter 2: The Power of Non-Verbal Cues
Body language is key in meeting protocols. Here are some tips:
- Sit up straight and make sure your shoulders are rolled back, even if you're secretly slumping.
- Nod your head again, because, as mentioned before, it's super effective.
- Use your eyebrows to convey interest, even if you're not actually interested.
