And now we've got our agenda.
We start with the ones that have the highest rankings, and we go down until class is over.
I'm joking, class, until the meeting is over.
And that becomes an inclusive, democratic way to set the agenda that people really buy into.
They really pay attention to what's going on in the meeting because they set the agenda.
This is what they wanted to talk about.
And that's a rule of the meeting is that there are no devices on.
There are no side conversations.
There are no distractions here.
You have to pay attention.
If you have the privilege of being invited to this meeting, you're concentrating on the one person who's speaking at a time.
And you're giving that person your 100% attention.
Your eyes are right on that person.
Your ears are listening right to moving from that person's mouth.
And you're feeling what they're feeling.
And you get really in tune with the person.
And it's such an exhilarating experience for the speaker and for the people listening, for the person speaking.
Imagine how validating that is, Patrick.
that you're in a meeting, you got 20 of your colleagues, of your peers there, and everyone is just looking right at you and really genuinely interested in what you have to say.
It just builds up your confidence.
