Opening a Meeting
Welcome
Sample Welcome:
“ I think we'll begin now. First I'd like to welcome you all
and thank everyone for coming, especially at such short
notice. I know you are all very busy and it's difficult to
take time away from your daily tasks for meetings.”

Watching the Time
Example
• I think we've spent enough time on this topic.
• We're running short on time, so let's move on.
• We're running behind schedule, so we'll have to skip
the next item.

Regaining Focus
Example
• Let's stick to the task at hand, shall we?
