Teleconference Tips 2

When holding a teleconference, set ground rules in advance. While it's best that the group determine the ground rules, here are a few suggestions:

1. everyone turn off their cell phones
2. everyone turn off their email and email reminders
3. everyone open / print the agenda and have it in front of them
4. no driving or engaging in any other activity (except perhaps drinking something)
5. everyone put phone on mute except when speaking (so we don't hear you drinking!)
