How to Improve Meeting Management with US Clients

Who drives the bus in your meetings with the US client - the India team or the Americans?

"Driving the bus" is an American idiom meaning "taking charge." If you are a service provider, Americans expect their service provider to be the expert. And, of course, you are the expert, that's why they hired you, your team, your company. To show this expertise, take charge of the meeting with simple tips like initiating the meeting invite, sharing agenda, deploying effective agendas and assure a follow up procedure is in place. This is where Authentic Journeys comes in to consult with your team to improve meeting management processes.
