9_How to Excel in a Business Meeting:在商務(wù)會議中如何超越

A lot of people, they don't attend a meeting on time...

有很多人，他們不按時(shí)參加會議…

So, the way you dress, the way you present yourself creates a certain perception in the workplace.

因此，在工作場所，你的穿衣風(fēng)格、你展現(xiàn)自己的方式會形成一種特定的認(rèn)知。

Number three, if you are at the professional meeting and there are people you don't know,...

第三，如果你在參加一個(gè)專業(yè)會議并且有些人你不認(rèn)識…

Another thing I will say, always be prepared.

我將要說的另一件事情為要隨時(shí)做好準(zhǔn)備。

Never expect to wing it. Because you prepare for a meeting,...

永遠(yuǎn)不要期望即興發(fā)揮。因?yàn)槟阋獮闀h做準(zhǔn)備…

...you get your message to come across. It's also respect for other people's work.

…你偶然得到你的消息。這也是對別人勞動成果的尊重。

When you are at the meeting listen to others, what they're sharing,...

當(dāng)你在參加會議時(shí)要學(xué)會傾聽他人，傾聽他們所分享的…

When you express yourself at a professional meeting, be concise and to the point.

當(dāng)你在專業(yè)會議上表達(dá)自己的觀點(diǎn)時(shí)要簡明扼要。

If you're disagreed by someone, be open-minded,...

如果有人不同意你的觀點(diǎn)，要心胸開闊…

When you're not clear about certain things,...

當(dāng)你不清楚某些事情時(shí)…

Make sure you understand everything correctly.

Whenever you leave a professional meeting,...

What comes out of this meeting has been followed up.

And the very last point after the meeting,...

...send out a summary including the action plan if there's no minutes that's been recorded.

My name is Helen Peng.

I'm the manager of learning and development with Pratt-Whitney Canada right now.

And I've been with Toastmasters for three years.

Number one I would say, be on time.

...and then that's going to jeopardize your credibility whether you're reliable or not.

Number two, dress properly.

If you're at a business setting, you probably have potential clients so dress in business suits.

We always say, "There's no reality, there's always perception."

...be proactive and introduce yourself.

You probably will make a potential friend and then it will be very easy to do business later.

Number five, listen attentively.

...what their perspectives are, not just think about what you have to say.

Make sure your message has come across properly; don't drag too long.

...don't be defensive. Listen to the point if there's any merit in the truth.

And if there is, accept it willingly.

...ask; ask questions, summarize or rephrase what you have heard.

...always come to an agreed action plan because you have to make sure what's next.

Those are the ten points I think that would be helpful for a professional setting.
