  • Don’t hesitate to check your outfit<\/b> one last time in the mirror, because a badly buttoned shirt or an untied shoelace can tarnish your image before you’ve even been introduced;<\/span><\/li>\n

      Has everyone found a place? Are all eyes on you? Before talking about yourself or your company, <\/span>flatter your participants<\/b>. Thank them for coming, emphasize their punctuality and the precious time they’ve given you. <\/span><\/p>\n

      A few smiles on the faces? Congratulations, you’ve achieved your first objective: <\/span>to create a relaxing setting and attract the attention of your participants<\/b>. <\/span><\/p>\n

      List the rules they are required to respect<\/b>, particularly as regards the use of cell phones, and point out that they contribute to the smooth running of the meeting.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n

      Now’s the time to talk about yourself.<\/b> Mention your name, your role in the company you represent and, if you feel that your experience works in your favor, your background. <\/span><\/p>\n

      However, don’t fall into megalomania. <\/span>Be cordial, relaxed and a good listener<\/b>. And above all, look your audience in the eye. <\/span><\/p>\n

      Humor and complicity are very effective weapons for getting what you want. Invite participants to introduce themselves if there aren’t too many of them. <\/span>This is a very important step, as it allows each member to integrate into the group<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t\t \n\t\t\t

      Briefly mention the theme of the meeting and the objective to be achieved. Don’t go into too much detail – you’ll have plenty of time to show off your public speaking skills later. <\/span>The point here is to set the scene and remind everyone why you’ve come together<\/b>. Pause for a moment to observe reactions and invite questions before moving on to the agenda.<\/span><\/p>\n

      In principle, all participants should have received and studied the agenda in advance of the meeting. That said, <\/span>it’s best to go over the main points with them<\/b>. The people in front of you may have just come from another meeting, dropped their children off at school or had a snack. They now need to concentrate on their subject and you need to help them do that.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Last but not least: <\/span>call latecomers and troublemakers to order with a touch of humor or irony<\/b>. By doing so, you’re letting them know that your gentle hand can also be firm.<\/span><\/p>\n
