If the meeting is internal, I send a meeting request, but for external meetings I tend to just confirm with them the meeting details by phone or e-mail. Much easier than searching in Outlook and less stressful. As I hear from the different parties I can put a check mark or an X whether they are available or not. 5, 2010 at 12 p.m.

You usually answer according to what you see on the display and say “Hi&# , thinking it is an internal call, but they are transferring an outside call so you end up sounding unprofessional.

Some things I have on this list is a memory stick with the minute templates, tentcards, meals ordered, meeting packages, pen, notebook, highlighter, calculator (I hate math so just in case they ask something that requires mathematical skills) and attendance records to establish quorum for each meeting. 5, 2010 at 12 p.m.

If I forgot to bring my laptop with me to a meeting out of town, that would be an almost disaster for me because I prepare my minutes ahead of time on my computer and basically all I have to do at the meeting is fill in the blanks. Another thing to put on your checklist if you are using a laptop is a memory stick. 5, 2010 at 12 p.m.

Internal e-mails amongst co-workers should have a business tone to it as well, although less formal. Perhaps we put a lot of the stress on ourselves because we feel that every e-mail has to be replied to immediately. Spelling, grammar and punctuation should be paid attention to and you should keep in mind the tone of your communcation.

They just don’t want to get on that damn train or freeway or whatever it happens to be for an hour each way with a whole bunch of smelly people they don’t know and worry about it being on time and the stress that goes along with that.
