Create and distribute a concise yet complete agenda. Manage the flow of discussions with assertiveness. Do not be afraid to remind attendees of the agenda items and objectives when digression begins to occur and supplement it with “we can take this offline” or “...make it an agenda item for the next meeting.” Remind attendees when it’s 5-10 minutes before the scheduled end time. Recap key discussion points, takeaways, and next steps before end of the meeting.

Send calendar invites along with a clear agenda beforehand. If necessary, send a follow up email 24 hours before the meeting. During the meeting just go through the agenda..

Have any of you taken "low bono" clients while working at a firm? I want to take on a low bono client or two but not sure who would get the money.

I would (obviously) like the money but my real objective is just getting experience/networking since I recently moved to a new state and don't have clients of my own.

I've been working at my current job for about a year now and I'm finally beginning to understand how the company works.

It's not easy, though. It's a small company, which means there are only a few of us in each department. There is no dedicated training team, so we all have to learn new things on the fly through trial-and-error or by asking our coworkers for help. The management team seems to be pretty hands off when it comes to project management and project direction, so it's up to us engineers to figure out how we want to spend our time and who we want to work with.
