Your Meeting Takeover Checklist

Use this before your next English-language meeting:

• Prepare two talking points in advance so you are less likely to sit in silence
• Speak in the first two minutes, even if it is just a question
• Use bridging phrases to enter conversations smoothly
• Summarize decisions before the meeting ends to make your contribution visible
• Follow up in writing within one hour to reinforce your visibility

Meetings are not tests of your English. They are performances. Prepare like a performer and you will be easier to hear in the room.
