How do I keep everyone focused during an online meeting?
Answer:
Keeping people focused in meetings has always been challenging — unless it is a subject that affects each member. A succinct agenda, with goals and solutions, is important. Sending the agenda to participants prior to the meeting will help everyone be prepared and prevent conversations from straying. Running on time is a must in order to help everyone remain engaged.
