Things to Say in Meetings

  •  

    Things one says during meetings:

    To appear Sharper:
    "Can you go back to the previous slide?"

    To appear Pragmatic:
    "Let's look at the Timelines."

    To appear Senior:
    "Who's taking the minutes??"

    To appear Super senior:
    "I have a hard stop at 10"

    When a junior points out a mistake in the slide, Presenter says, "Let's take this offline."

    When someone points at a glaring miss in one of the slides, "We have addressed that in a subsequent slide" (there is no such slide, and everybody forgets)

    To appear as a Realist:
    "Let's take a step back."
