Preparing the pre-meeting paper
The agenda
The agenda is the backbone of a meeting and it is vital to have one.
If a meeting is pre-planned, the agenda is perhaps the most important item to consider.
Arrange Time and Place
The time, place, duration, heating, seating, lighting and refreshments make differences, positively or negatively, to how well people perform at meetings.
Timing the meeting
When should the meeting be?
How long should it take?
What time of day is best?
What date?
Ideally, the meeting date would be set far enough in advance for everyone to be able to do the necessary preparation, but soon enough that the subject matter is dealt with promptly.
What time?
The time of day when a meeting is held can have an effect on its dynamics.
Room size?
The room should be big enough for the number of attendees to feel comfortable.
Sitting around a table squashed knee to knee and elbow to elbow is not conductive to get the best performance from people.
Lighting?
Adequate light for working without being dazzled?
The suitability of the lighting:
Involve audio-visual aids?
Do the lights need to be on or off during the presentation?
Heating and ventilation
Heating ventilation and air-conditioning are relevant to people at workplace.
Tables and chairs
Chairs need to strike the balance.
Do not too comfortable that people might will fall into dozing off.
Chairs with arms are more comfortable to set in for any length of time.
Layout
Choose proper table seating layout to make every attendee feels equal among each other.
The Nuts and Bolts of Meeting
An agenda is a must avoiding to have an inefficient meeting result.
Agenda
Backbone of a meeting
Gives the meeting structure and strength
A meeting is less likely to achieve its outcome
A control which establishes the parameters of the meeting, assigns tasks, establishes order and sequence, provides guideline for timing.
The amount of information included in an agenda should be fuided by the needs of the attendees of meeting.
Their need to know should be the paramount consideration of the person preparing the agenda.
Function of an agenda
1. setting clear objectives
Focus the content of meeting
2. Pre-meeting information
point out purpose of meeting and expectation of attendee's contribution
3. Inclusion of all relevant items
Participants may suggest to add subject(s) which accidentally omitted.
4. Structure
Gives items to be ordered by priority or by subject.
5. Timing
Control the timing of meeting by attaching time guidelines to agenda items.

Bad meeting results:
No decision made, everyone talks about something different makes meeting ratty and result-less, passiveness. An agenda beforehand is needed.
All meetings need to be planned:
15 minutes effective meeting increases efficiency.

Points of a disaster meeting:
1. Attendees:
50% of people needed were either not invited or haven't tuned up.
2. Agenda:
The agenda is not clear, or familiarize themselves with essential documents beforehand.
3. Ambiance:
The room is small, hot and stuffy.
Chairs are hard and jammed close together.
4. Constant interruptions
Four essential of good planning can be done in 15 minutes to ensure a successful meeting.

e. They will be annoyed if they are not invited.

2. Negotiate extra complimentary services:
Ex. Complimentary suites, parking passes, welcome announcement concierge floor upgrades, etc. which cost not big for the vendor but generate well effects.
3. Confirm Food and Beverage Prices:
Confirm the date the facility provides with firm prices with terms of inclusion & exclusion.
4. Secure sponsors to underwrite parts of meeting:

8. Book versatile entertainers and speakers:

For speakers, select those who can offer a keynote speech and lead a workshop session.

10. Negotiate with speakers:

11. Work with the chef in planning meals:
Serve seasonal items and items the chef recommends. Challenge him/her to serve creative, cost-effective meals.
12. Have entertainment during cocktail parties:
People drink and eat less if diverted by entertainment.

14. Bring your own audio-visual equipment:
For smaller meetings, bringing your own LCD projector can be a money saver.
Make sure to insert a clause in hotel contract allowing you to bring your own with no applicable surcharge.

Oh, and there we were all in one place
A generation lost in space 蘇美火箭試射
With no time left to start again
So come on Jack be nimble, Jack be quick 兒歌
Mick Jagger, The Rolling Stone
Jack Flash sat on a candlestick
'Cause fire is the devil's only friend
And as I watched him on the stage = Mick Jagger
My hands were clenched in fists of rage
No angel born in hell = music festival
Could break that Satan's spell
And as the flames climbed high into the night
To light the sacrificial rite 獻祭的儀式
I saw Satan laughing with delight
The day the music died
He was singing
I met a girl who sang the blues Janis Joplin
And I asked her for some happy news
But she just smiled and turned away (she's dead.)
I went down to the sacred store
Where I'd heard the music years before
But the man there said the music wouldn't play
And in the streets the children screamed
The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed
But not a word was spoken 尼克森總統對越戰沉默以對
The church bells all were broken
And the three men I admire most
the Father, Son, and the Host Ghost (air crash = Bob Dylang, Ritchi
They caught the last train for the coast (空難死亡)
The day the music died
And they were singing
Buddy Holly 是 Don McLean 的偶像
Oh, and there we were all in one place

Do you write the book of love
And do you have faith in God above
If the Bible tells you so?
Now do you believe in rock and roll?
Can music save your mortal soul? 會死的靈魂
And can you teach me how to dance real slow?
"The Bible Tells Me So"

music can provide us spiritual fulfill
slow dance (Blues)
Well, I know that you're in love with me
'cause I saw you dancing the gym
You both kicked off your shoes
Man, I dig those rhythm and blues R&B dig = like
I was a lonely teenage broncoing buck bronco 野馬 buck 公牛
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck 性暗示
But I knew I was out of luck
The day the music died
I started singing
Now, for ten years we've been on our own
And moss grows fat on a rolling stone = Bob Dylan
But that's now how it used to be
When the jester sang for the king and queen = Bob Dylan 弄臣
In a coat he borrowed from James Dean
And a voice that came from you and me = Don McLean
Oh and while the king was looking down
The jester stole his thorny crown = the crown Jesus wears 背十字架
The courtroom was adjourned 法庭休會 the symbol of suffering
No verdict was returned Who's the king? Elvis or Bob Dylan
And while Lenin read a book on Marx 列寧馬克斯
The quartet practiced in the park 四重奏= the Beatles
And we sang dirges in the dark 輓歌
The day the music died
We were singing
British Invasion
Bob Dylan/Joan Baey
The Beatles invaded in the USA in 1964
Helter skelter in a summer swelter 夏天悶熱 Helter Skelter Beatles' 歌

Landed foul on the grass 髒

While sergeants played a marching tune = the Beatles
We all got up to dance
Oh, but we never got the chance
