Can you share your meeting preparation process or tips with me? Recently promoted to SC and finding that I need to really plan out meetings more than I did as a C. Thanks!

Always have an agenda or so-what going in... And anticipate questions that may need to be answered. You may not have a speaking role but may need to stand ready to answer questions... Also if you have a manager that is willing to adapt to your style then you may be able to plan ahead with them.... In some cases u may just have to think on your feet.
