7 Ways to Impress Your Boss at Meetings

It doesn't take much to impress your boss when you are lucky enough to have his attention (more or less) for an entire meeting. Here are seven things you can do - seven things that would work on me - that will leave your boss thinking, "That kid is good!"

1. Arrive a few minutes early.

2. Bring a pad and pen and, if appropriate, a tape recorder.

3. Make frequent eye contact with him. Show that you are listening.

4. Do at least one thing - ask a question or make a comment - that proves you have spent some extra time thinking about the meeting's main topics.

5. Answer questions promptly, energetically, and directly.

6. Don't do anything distracting or work on anything not directly related to the meeting.

7. Follow up quickly - with an e-mail memo or phone call - that indicates (a) you are already working on the meeting's problem, (b) you appreciate your boss's contributions, and (c) you are positively motivated to achieve the objective.

What is 19:20 Solutions?

The idea of the name 19:20 Solutions is taken from Proverbs 19:20 which says, “Listen to counsel and accept discipline, that you may be wise the rest of your days”. It’s so sad that many people who have reached their peak stopped to progress by ceasing to hear counsel and advice from others. A lot of people who has reached the peak of their mountain stay there because there’s nowhere else to go. But some people when they reach the peak of their mountain looks at the sky and fly – these are the people who are wise because they are a constant student of progress and thus they succeed. 19:20 Solutions is aiming to provide wings by providing topics that can stimulate the minds of the participants. It can also be considered as a progress from 19 to 20 or from almost perfect to perfection.
