Meeting Etiquette: The Art of Synchronized Hand Placement

It's a little-known fact that meetings are the lifeblood of productivity. But have you ever noticed how everyone seems to forget the most basic rules of meeting etiquette? We're talking, of course, about the sacred art of placing your hands in unison.

• Rule 1: Place your hands on the table, but not too close together.
• Rule 2: Avoid the "Caffeine-Drinking, Staring-At-Your-Phone" pose.
• Rule 3: Never, ever, ever tap your pen on the table. That's just not a thing.
• Rule 4: When someone says "Action Item", it's time to put your hands back in.
• Rule 5: Don't be that person who's always whispering to their phone. We know it's a meeting, but we're not in a confessional.

By following these simple rules, you'll be well on your way to becoming a Meeting Etiquette Master. Now, let's practice with some exercises:
