Tips for:

Conference Calls.

1) Make sure your door is closed and locked.
2) Have coffee and water readily available from sitting position on desk (snacks optional).
3) Put feet up and chair on recline.
4) Utilize the mute button (this is the most important tip).
5) When introducing yourself, speak slow and purposeful.  It will make you seem more mature and knowledgeable than you really are.
6) Take mute off and ask questions at lease twice, so they know you are present
7) Stretch!  This is a great time to vinyasa, bend, and repeat.
8) Take notes.  Then when your boss unexpectedly knocks on your door, you have something to show for the last 2 hours of work.
9) Answer the rhetorical questions (remember, take mute off for this).
10) Leave blog open for updates.  Facebook optional.  Do NOT take mute off for this.
