			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you ever attended a meeting where the attendees interrupt and talk over each other and no one lets anyone else finish a sentence? Where multiple, mini-meetings break out and people randomly and seamlessly cross over into these mini-meetings without rhyme nor reason? Do you spend so much time marveling at how rude and disrespectful the attendees are, that you don&#8217;t remember much else about the meeting? Are you left feeling disrespected and frustrated at their boorish behavior? In the end, do you believe that you are dumber for having attended the meeting?</p>
<p>Well, if you answered &#8220;yes&#8221; to any of those questions, you are not alone. In fact you are in the majority. The sad and uneducated majority. The truth is that the other attendees were not rude nor disrespectful. It is you who are not seasoned nor savvy enough to understand what was really going on. The meeting was most likely extremely productive and effective but you weren&#8217;t smart enough to capture its brilliance. Maybe those attendees are all dumber for having invited YOU. Did you ever think of that?</p>
<p>Well, fear not! I am here to help. I have studied corporate meetings, and those who attend them, for over 25 years and through my research and vast experience I have uncovered the keys to corporate meeting enlightenment and will share them with you as well as the tools necessary to get you on your way to becoming an active, productive, and happy corporate meeting participant. That&#8217;s right, all you have to do is read and follow the steps in <a href="http://www.itjungle.com/tfh/tfh111405-story04.html">Preemptive Listening, a Tool of Tools</a> and you will be well on your way to becoming the moving and shaking, corporate professional that you&#8217;ve always dreamed. </p>
<p>I wrote the <a href="http://www.itjungle.com/tfh/tfh111405-story04.html">Preemptive Listening</a> article  four years ago, but the material is as relevant and timeless as the corporate meeting itself. So don&#8217;t delay, get on the fast path to meeting mastery with my article on the breakthrough corporate behavioral tool, <a href="http://www.itjungle.com/tfh/tfh111405-story04.html">Preemptive Listening</a> and if you like it, share it with others. If you don&#8217;t like it, you are lost and there is no hope left.</p>
<p>Thank You.</p>
