Getting a break before - to ground myself and recenter and prepare for the meeting. Before, I like to make sure I have everything already with me, like water and snacks plus a notebook for notes. During I make sure to be comfortable so I may toss on some super comfy socks or slippers, I'll take as many notes as makes sense, and with my company we have highlights to capture our takeaways from the meeting - those help with accountability. After the meeting I tend to take breaks to reset the brain and get back to working.
Keep em short! Turn on the camera and try to write the interesting ideas you hear during the meeting. Be actually present. Taking notes as much as possible not only increases the number of topics I will research but also allows me to listen to the call.
