...How to Meet New People Meeting new people is an unavoidable and important process in everyone’s lifetime. The desire to meet new people is triggered by different reasons including general friendship and romance. One could have lost old friends, shifted to a new location or wanted to meet more people during their lifetime. It is through meeting new people that we get new opportunities say in business or daily adventures, explore new ideas getting out of our own cocoons, increase knowledge and gain a better understanding of life in general. Once meeting them, it can be easy turning them into friends. We are then able to form close friendships which when well maintained and nurtured could create strong life bonds for the benefit of the parties involved including romantic relationships. These newly gained friends can point out any potential in us and through encouragement and advice, personal growth can be attained. However, we meet countless people but becoming friends with them is our own choice. The process of meeting new persons can be demanding to some people, but easy on others. It requires the right attitude for a person to get out there and fight any loneliness or rejection from a past relationship. One need to be psychologically prepared to meet new people in whichever way or place that there is. Patience is needed in the process as one can face rejection, some meeting ways aren’t up to the expectation and there is the need to try many ways in order to meet people...

...Taking 1) Understand the meeting. Accuracy Meeting minutes have no value if they are not accurate. Names and terms, especially the organisation’s own jargon, must be spelled correctly. And if you are taking minutes without the backup of an audio recording, you need to get it right the first time in your notes: there is no second chance. It’s very difficult to take accurate notes if you are unfamiliar with what you’re hearing. Preparation A good minute taker will prepare him or herself ahead of the meeting. Make sure you understand the agenda and review related documents, such as minutes from previous meetings, related hearings or interviews. Based on these documents, build a glossary of names and terms. A good glossary makes minute taking easier, faster and more accurate. Some people believe that only someone from the same organisation - or even the same department can understand the meeting well enough to take accurate minutes. As independent minute takers, we find this simply isn’t true. In fact, many times someone less intimately connected to proceedings can actually take better notes. An outside minute taker will often be able to hear and record what was actually said, without "reading into" the connotations. A lot of organisations waste a lot of time reviewing and correcting minutes. Make sure your organisation isn’t one of them. 2) Make the time. Taking good meeting minutes takes time. Leave ample time for preparation, for the meeting itself, and for writing up...

...Effective Meetings: Mining Group Gold Cynthia D. Chavez Introduction to Business & Technology Abstract Team meetings and group projects are common place in many organizations. Organization within those meetings is crucial to how well they run and how productive they are. There are a few approaches to getting meetings or group sessions to run smoothly. One approach focuses on getting the most out of the collaborative power of the group participants. This paper will address that method referred to as Mining Group Gold. It’s A Process Everyone is familiar with the phrase two heads are better than one, and in most companies many heads coming together on a project or in a meeting is invaluable. Getting group participants to cooperate and collectively contribute ideas as well as share their opinions of their colleagues’ ideas without fear of overreaction or being ignored yields meeting successes and is a positive approach that promotes collaboration. Like any well-structured approach to something, there are several steps involved in the successful mining of gold from any particular group. Preparation The first step in the process is preparation. To be fully prepared there are five areas to address. First, the purpose of the meeting must be determined. Second, there must be a clear understanding of the expected outcomes. When participants arrive, there should be no question what the goal of the meeting is, and when it ends there should be an understanding...

...given a promotion. I was offered a job working in the claims/receiving department. This may not seem like a huge promotion to most, however in a retail situation it is. I not only received a major pay jump but I also was guaranteed a Monday thru Friday, early morning shift. I feel like everyday that I am at work I challenge myself to not only learn more about the company, but to also to help any other department that I can. Although I love my job, it is very routine. Every morning we have what is called a “ten minute win”. This is basically a ten minute meeting with at least one person from every department. Typically these meetings are “all the same” as most employees will tell you. However, there is one meeting that I will never forget. This meeting was held on a Monday morning and everyone in the club was told specifically to attend. When I got to the meeting room everyone was silent. James, the general manager of the store, started to talk. He went on about how sales were down and about how bad the economy was getting. James also talked about how diligently the company was working on ways to boost sales, however the profit was just not there. He then said one word that made everyone in the room sigh: Layoffs. Hearing this word come out of his mouth made me want to vomit. I immediately realized that in a matter of minutes my world as I know it could take a huge turn. Just weeks before this day I purchased my very first home, this is what scared me the...

...seminars ("webinars"), webcasts, and peer-level web meetings. It may also be used in a more narrow sense to refer only to the peer-level web meeting context, in an attempt to disambiguate it from the other types of collaborative sessions.[1] Terminology related to these technologies is inexact, and no generally agreed upon source or standards organization exists to provide an established usage reference. In general, web conferencing is made possible by Internet technologies, particularly on TCP/IP connections. Services may allow real-timepoint-to-point communications as well as multicast communications from one sender to many receivers. It offers data streams of text-based messages, voice and video chat to be shared simultaneously, across geographically dispersed locations. Applications for web conferencing include meetings, training events, lectures, or presentations from a web-connected computer to other web-connected computers. Web conferencing was designed as an upgraded audio bridge with pictures. It made it possible to share presentations with audio participants located around the globe, and its features, like recording and presenter video, make it great for dissemination of information from few to many. It can still be used for smaller meetings, but it really lacks the features that today’s savvy user has come to expect with collaboration tools. Video conferencing, on the other hand, gives everyone a seat and a face at the meeting and is intentionally designed around collaboration...

...Organizing a Cost- Reduction program The Bottom Line * You need a multidisciplinary team to attain significant cost- reduction. Support from the top helps greatly. * Encounter resistance to the cost reduction effort * There are risks associated with cost – reduction opportunities * Meet at least once a week * Maintain an action plan to create and sustain reduction momentum. * Someone who writes well and is good in capturing details should take notes and publish meeting minutes no later than one day after each meeting. The meeting minutes should be sent to the chief executive, the team members, and the head of each department. Doing this keep others in the loop, and it keeps the effort alive. * The meeting minutes should include “living” task list. Team members should provide input regarding the status of each task in the meeting, and the person preparing the meeting minutes should update the task list to show current status. * The team members should discuss cost- reduction ideas in a free- flowing manner. The ideas may come from the team members or from others in the company. All of the ideas should be captured on a paper. After discussing all of the ideas, the team should decide if each idea should be pursued. If the team thinks an idea has a merit, in most cases it will go to the affected department manager. Key Questions: 1.) Do we have a cost – reduction effort in place? 2.) Do we have cost – reduction targets? 3.) How do we identify and eliminate...
