Build Your Action Plan

In this video, you will learn all different business etiquette tips you should keep in mind when walking into a meeting. To set the right environment before going into a meeting, you should:
  1. Socialize with the attendees of the meeting before the meeting starts. Speak about the weekend, your interests and any other nice conversations.
  2. If you are at a higher rank position always initiate the handshake.
  3. Stand up when being introduced to someone and exchange your business cards.
  4. Be punctual. Being on time will reflect that you are dependable and committed.
  5. Sit upright at the same level as everyone else and don’t cross your legs as that could be viewed as inappropriate.
  6. Dress appropriately. Business attire is required for all business meetings i.e. formal pants, a shirt or blouse and a jacket with formal shoes.
  7. Never pull out a ladies chair for her as this can be viewed as gender biased.
Keeping these tips in mind will help you keep and maintain a professionalism in a meeting.
