Practical tips for etiquette in the boardroom

Business is about taking risks, but don’t make that risk involve not booking a meeting room and hoping another meeting party doesn’t show up before you’re done.

Pro Tip: If another legitimately booked group does show up and you’re in the middle of something, don’t make eye contact with them or look apologetic. Perhaps they’ll move on to another room, or you’ll have a few extra moments to wrap up. Next time, book it first!

When arriving at a meeting, do you just open a door, walk in and when realizing that you’re in the wrong place go, “oops, my bad?”

Rather treat it like you’re arriving at someone’s house, where you generally knock before entering. Don’t be the obnoxious neighbour with no awareness.

Understanding engineers

Two engineering students were biking across a university campus when one said, “Where did you get such a great bike?”

The second engineer replied, “Well, I was walking along yesterday, minding my own business, when a beautiful woman rode up on this bike, threw it to the ground, took off all her clothes and said, “Take what you want.”

The first engineer nodded approvingly and said, “Good choice: The clothes probably wouldn’t have fit you anyway.”
