When you’re waiting for a meeting to begin (that’s right: because you’re a pro and you’ve arrived early) why sit quietly?
Start a conversation.
Don’t talk about the weather.
Share an amusing story.
Discuss something relevant.
Connect.
Don’t scroll through your phone looking at banal posts and emails you don’t intend to read.
Make a connection. In person. With words.
It might be easier than you think.
