MEETING PREPARATION · Workflow idea

Walk into a meeting with useful context, not a pile of tabs.

When a new meeting is booked, organize the details the attendee has chosen to share and relevant professional information for a concise preparation brief. Keep the original sources visible, distinguish confirmed details from assumptions, and let a teammate check the notes and any customer record update. Approve the exact message and recipient before sending the brief.
