Hi guys, long time no see. oh yeah Ramadan al Mubarak for all Muslims around the world. so lets get to the point. This time I gonna share about attending a meeting, just like the title. before start, did you know definition of meeting? A meeting is when two or more people come together to discuss one or more topics, often in a formal or business setting, but meetings also occur in a variety of other environments. Many various types of meetings exist (Wikipedia). There is many types of attending a meeting
1. First of all, if you a Newcomer in a meeting
1. First of all, if you a Newcomer in a meeting
- introduce yourself (ex: say your name, say your job description, say what your rensponsibility)
- if you are the only one secretary for example use "the" and if there are several secretary use "a"
2. Second, if you gonna give a suggestion
- there is so many words to make a suggestion just like "we ought to give a new rewards", "we might want to...", "I think we should..."
- "have to" and "need to" can give about obligation such as "we have to improve...", "we need to add some..."
- oh yeah, make a suggestion think about the effect too
3. Agree with a suggestion
This is optional things to do, if you agree with a suggestion from other people so many ways to reply such as "I agree with....","That's a good idea", "let's go with this idea"
4. Disagree with a suggestion
Then if you disagree with a suggestion from other people but don't wanna hurt another colleagues just answer like this "to be honest, I am not sure....", "good suggestion, but I see few problems....", "I see your point, however...." after say like that tell your point of view too
5. Asking a question
Every meeting mustn't be everyone understand what chairmeeting says or another colleagues says, so this is how to ask some question in a meeting "pardon me, I didn't understand your last words can you repeat once again?", "I have a question, why is...?", "How...?", "does this mean....?"
6. Asking Clarification
Similar like asking a question but this more to a misunderstanding that have to clearance to the topic, so this is how to ask it "I didn't understand....", "can you elaborate on....?", "can you clarify...?"
7. Making Offers
Next making some offers, so this point will tell you about offer something. Making offer always use "will" like "I will call the director, I'll tell the results next", "I'll discuss it with rest of my team", "I going to....", "I can....", "I could...."
8. Refusing politely
So if you can't do a some job just refuse it politely such as "I am afraid, I can't...", "I am sorry, but I can't do....", "unfortunately, I won't be able...."
So that's it from me, feel free to comment and share knowledge each other. See you, fellas!
The information you provide is very simple but very useful for someone who will attend a meeting :)
