How do you all get prepared for meetings that you have to lead and get decisions made? I hate them with a passion and do better one-on-one with a client than a group.

I ask the below question first to myself while preparing and later at the start of the meeting .

Question: what is the outcome we want out of this meeting.

This centers everyone on what to achieve and I use this to navigate and steer the meeting.

I also have a deck or a wiki page that has an outline of the discussion topics, last meeting action items..etc I use this as a meeting minutes to follow up

Right so here’s a bit of a dilemma I work to a much higher standard at home and it’s this high standard that means I’m in line for a promotion. I’ve grown so much and I feel really strong in my role I’m also busier than ever. The problem is we’re going back into the office and I don’t want to go in if it’s just going to be senior management in asking me to get them lunches for client meetings or fetch a glass of water and cutlery for meeting rooms. Definitely not ready to go back to that….

I felt like a walking zombie during thanksgiving, barely eating and barely talking. My family is small and I told them ahead of time my relationship ended.
