wording and phrases. And number three is to have that effervescence
as a leader, going about conducting
your meetings. Hi, this is Dr. Woodrow podcast. I am a certified leadership

engaged in a class project. I'm excited to have
you join the course. Let's get started.
2. Wording and Phrases to Start a Meeting.: Hi, welcome back. Starting a meeting. Wording and freezes wording and phrases to start a meeting. So in this section,
in this lecture, we're going to talk about and learn how to start a meeting. We learn the wording and phrases and the tone or related speech. Now, anytime you
start a meeting, you first three grid, everybody. Happy. You should
start off the week. You say Happy Monday. Say if it's a Monday,
you said Happy Monday. Then you first say, I'd like to start
with saying first, I'd like to thank you
and congratulate you for amazing performance
in the past week. Say if it's a new ear you
see in the last year. And see if you know someone
personally, then you can say, Hey, how was the weekend or in generally you can see
how how was your weekend. How's your family? If you know someone
from the group, you can also say, Hey, John, Bessie, Betsy, or
Ralph, or Mary. How was it, How is your family, How's everybody back home? Being giving compassion, being compassionate and
understanding. That's key. And this being
warm and friendly. There's the thing about a
manager holding the power. Yes, that's important. That's important. But you also want to come off
as swarm and compassionate. Or you want to be a
friendly individual, warm, and generous leader
that you really are. That's we just started
with your first. I'd like to welcome
all of you here. I hope you had a great weekend. And you know, like, you know, suddenly individuals from group, you can address them
by the firstname. Always. Being very casual. It's an American
business environment. Can be casual, business
casual also let, we can say, Hey John, How was your weekend and
addressing them by first name, then that's friendly also. That's how you start
to say Agreed them. Also talk about
agendas for the d. Or we have to say if
you are a time clause, we say we are in a time
crunch today or right now. We have so many
tasks to fulfill. And we want to start
off on a good note and be positive and affirmative
and say We can do it.
3. Actual Meeting: Related Language and Speech.: Hi, welcome back. So now the meeting itself, in our last lecture, we talked about the
wording and phrases. To start with meeting.
We talked about what the actual wording
and phrases war. To start any meeting. In this section, we're
going to talk about the wording and phrases
during the meeting itself. So again, going
back to the idea of having a structure, structure, and goals, or what our takeaways for the
meeting are. Key. Clarity is the answer in your
mind and in the PowerPoint. Say you have the PowerPoint up and you want to make it
as clear, concise, fun. You want to keep
moving through them. You're going to make the
PowerPoint as clear, concise, fun, simple, and
friendly as possible. Just put the key elements there. That's a key idea. That's key idea there. And just talking about
it gives a leeway. Now, let's talk about
the meeting itself. You're setting a
PowerPoint presentation. Like I mentioned earlier. You want to be very judicious in what you put up in writing. Can use a pictograph,
chart, etc. Or some, some kind of funny doodle or some
figures or some writings. Make it light and
simple and fun. That goes along way.
Why? Because try thinking of the
opposite of that. Just having lots of information and leading the
amount is not good. You want to vary your tone in
the speech as you present, as you make that presentation. So the idea of being dynamic, hitting certain words
when you are speaking and then go friendly, warm tone. And the things that
you see that we speak, the things that you say, the way you look at
somebody, your speeds, Dynamic DSM in your voice, they form the whole repertoire. They are. So key. Now Tips going forward, don't be stuck with one
PowerPoint slide for too long. Don't we start with one
PowerPoint slide for too long.
4. The Class Project.: Hi, welcome back. The class project. I won't do too. I request you to share your
own Structure, wording, and the actual phrases and
language that you employ in your business meetings to start or run or to conclude
a business meeting. So what are the language and
learning that you employ in your company or for new or the leader
conducting meetings. So I want you to
share and upload your suggestions and ideas
and actually warnings here. But that's the whole
homework or assignment.
5. Speech and Phrases During the Meeting.: Welcome back. In this lecture, we're gonna
talk about the warning and phrases and structure
for the meeting itself. Having a structure is key. Having and sharing
your positivity, being affirmative and positive. The goal along way. If you're selling a
PowerPoint presentation, if you want to make
sure that you're very judicious in what you
put up in writing. You can use a pictograph
chart or some figure doodle. And just having lots of information and reading
them out is not good. You want to be very judicious in what you
put up in writing. Doesn't go about putting lots of inflammation,
inflammation. Be careful about the
words you choose, the way you speak, the things that you say, the way you look at somebody, your speeds, dynamism
in your voice, they're all so key. Again, don't be stuck with one PowerPoint
slide for too long. Now let's talk about comments you can make
during the meeting. You started the meeting,
you said First, I'd like to welcome
all of you here, and I hope you've
had a great weekend. Let's get started. Let's start this meeting. Then you make some comments
during the meeting. And what are the comments? If somebody passes
on a comment, DC. Oh, what a great point. Oh, what a great point. Mary, what do you think of that? Married? What do you think about that? Really interesting. I didn't think of it before. I didn't think of
it that way before. Mary, what do you think about that are really interesting. I didn't think of it before. Really interesting. We really didn't see
that in our data. We really didn't see
that in our data. Oh, really interesting. Mary, what do you
think about that? That's an excellent
point you just made. I'm really happy you
brought that up. That's an excellent point.
You just made really happy. You brought that up. I think that's a good segue
into our next topic. Things like that. These are the common phrases or language or speech that you
can employ in doing meetings. Again, being very affirmative, giving out the energy,
giving energy. I'm bringing elements
of positivity and having a structure
go a long way. So key, send the positive
energy to your people, to support our people, to make people want to come
to work. That's important. The way that we have accompany work for the benefit
of everyone, for the missing of the company, for the structure of walking
together a people and for individual happiness is
to really support our people, to make people want
to come to work. They are important,
they're very key. Paramount importance. The way that we
have a company work for the benefit of everyone. I'm missing of the company or the successor of working
together a people. And for individual happiness is to really support our people, to make people want
to come to work. Have a person that
they're dealing with. You in this case was dynamic. And it was there for them
and wants the best for them, and giving them
positive critiques as they go through the day, telling them what
they're doing, right, and how they might
be able to improve. Now, asking for the feedback, asking for your employees feedback as you
conduct the meetings. So you might ask, how do you think we might
be able to solve this? What is your idea? Tackling the issue? So again, within the
meeting you allow to talk. You're giving each person the chance to talk,
to bring out, to present their own
voice to prison, their own takes on things. To bring their own
perspectives and references to the
meeting to add value. That's important.
Again, especially if you are having a round robin, the Zoom Room,
giving each person the chance to speak.
That's important.

phrases to end the meeting? You say, it looks like
