a
business
meeting

is
the
most
important
step,
if

you
risk

and
not
reaching
the
expected
conclusions
or
agreements.
The
thing
parts
to
prepare
are:
-­‐

the
main
idea
of

is
making
agreements

everyone,
so
in
order
to
be
sure
that
everyone
is
confortable
with
the
decisions
made
everyone
needs
to
share
their
ideas.
To
encourage
them
you
can
do
icebreaker
activities
no

how
silly
they
are,
the
purpose
is
making
them
feel
confortable
to
talk.
Also
for
those
that
speak
too
much
you
can
use
the
5
minute-­‐bell
technique
that
allows
everyone
to
stop
someone
when
its
talking
way
too
much!

4. 3. CONCLUSIONS:
name
someone
to
take
notes
on
every
conclusion
made
and
at
the
end
sharing
it
on
email.
