Want to make your next business meeting a smash hit? I’ve got a red-hot tip. At your next meeting, bring a laptop and projector. Project the agenda document on the screen and use it to guide the meeting and to take notes as well. Make sure you take notes live, projected on the screen. This has a fantastic effect because everyone watches what you type and participates much more than usual. And since everyone is seeing the same thing at the same time any inaccuracies are corrected immediately. Now here’s the best part: when the meeting is over, all you do is simply email all this notes you took to everyone who’s there and you don’t have to writeup those tedious “meeting minutes” ever again. Try this at your next meeting and I guarantee you’ll never do it any other way ever again.
