Every now and then, there comes around one of those meetings that you just know could drastically alter the path you are on for good. It might be an interview with someone who could offer you a fantastic new position, or it might just be a meeting with a supplier that could radically improve the financial standing of your business overnight. When you have such an important meeting up ahead, you want to be as ready for it as possible. So what do you do? Let’s look into some of the best ways to set yourself up for the best meeting of your life.
Your Morning Routine
In many ways, the way in which you start the day is one of the most important things of all. If you get out of bed on the wrong side, that could be enough to ruin your chance with this person, and that is something to think about. But there’s plenty you can do to ensure that you have a great start to the day. Firstly, get to bed early the night before, so you can start fresh. You can also enjoy calmer mornings with custom closet systems, and by ensuring you know exactly what you are going to wear already. Eat a light, healthy breakfast and don’t overdo it on the coffee. You will then feel much more ready as you leave your home.
The Approach
You will have heard in the past that first impressions are everything. Actually, there is not much to this - generally, people will be happy to alter their opinion of you once they see how you behave in different settings. However, there is a sense in which someone makes an assumption about you based on first meeting, and when you are only going to be spending maybe an hour with that person, that can be especially important. So be sure to arrive at the meeting in a way which shows your best qualities. It could make all the difference.
Confidence
If you are at the level in your career where you are having hugely important meetings, you have probably already learned how to be confident at the drop of a hat. But it is important to remember to do this if you are going into a meeting, as you need to ensure that you come across in the best possible way. Whatever you need to do - positive self-talk, the wonder-woman pose in the bathroom for five minutes - you should make sure that you are feeling your most confident, best version of yourself.
Making A Connection
The best thing you can do when you are in the meeting itself is to make some kind of a human connection. They are a person, you are a person - operating on this level is generally what is going to work best for everyone, and what is most likely to get you your desired results. So make sure that you are doing this if you want to get out of your meeting exactly what you need to.
