3. Will key terms be enough to make the meeting sucessful?

Sample answer:
No, I don’t think so. Key terms are all important, but it has to be accompanied by hard-
work and diligence. It is not enough to cover all the minutes of the meeting as well
as the body of the meeting. A good speaker with such control of the meeting will
definitely make the meeting successful. You should be ready for any impromptu ques-
tions.

1. You will have your monthly meeting this afternoon. The chairperson of the
board is expecting a wonderful presentation. You are nervous, but you know
you’re prepared for it.

Sample answer:
Good morning everyone. Welcome to the monthly performance meeting.
We have distributed the copies of the agenda and I hope everybody has his/her own
copy. Please refer to your handouts; I have highlighted some jargons and acronym.
Kindly be comfortable enough and feel free to ask me some questions that you have
in Mind.
Thank you. Okay, to begin with, I would like to call on first the Chairman of the Board
to give his Inspirational Talk. Let’s all give him a round of applause.

2. You just had your meeting with the clients. The clients walked out because
they feel you were not ready for the meeting. You are now having a meeting
with your Boss and you’re explaining about the incident.

Sample answer:
Sir, I am really sorry for what had happened during the meeting. I am very positive
that I can do good on the meeting, but I simply can’t understand why suddenly I got
mental blocked and I started to lose all my concentration. I know I may sound stupid
but I know I have to admit it anyway since I knew that one way or another, you will
soon know about everything that has happened out there during the meeting a while
ago. I know I have wasted your trust but I hope that you will still have your confidence
in me. I promise that I’ll be more careful, more prepared, more organized next meet-
ing. Please give me another chance.
