Business meetings and social anxiety
- You probably show up late for meetings so that you don't have to engage in small talk. Instead, try to arrive early for meetings so that you can meet people as they arrive.
- Remember that others may also feel uncomfortable about speaking up. They are also nervous about voicing their opinion. They will be relieved if you speak up first.
- Examine the thoughts you have while in a meeting. Ask if the thoughts are helpful and realistic.
