I can do those different things (take notes, talk, suddenly remember something I need to tell my team) just fine, but I’m unlikely to do them well because my focus just isn’t there. The problem isn’t multitasking-but multi focusing. This is something I come across a lot especially when I’m on customer interview calls, where we’re chatting with them with the goal of writing a case study or customer story.īut in general for any type of meeting, whether it’s a team meeting or interview, trying to do multiple things while you’re talking to someone is going to dilute your conversation. I, at least, have felt personally attacked (kidding… Or am I?) by two main things: Wasted opportunities during the meeting It’ll transcribe our meeting in real time, automatically note action items(!), and also send us a call summary with a searchable call transcript(!!) after the meeting:Īs you can probably imagine-or experienced, if you’ve ever had the unenviable task of taking down the minutes of meetings-there are some disadvantages to being the person who has to take down meeting notes. If my team and I weren’t using Dialpad for our video conferencing, we’d probably just take this list and use it to build and fill in our own meeting agenda template.īut since we do use Dialpad, we just turn on the Dialpad Ai feature. So, what do people typically record during a meeting? Some key points may include:ĭecisions made regarding each item on the agendaĭate and time of the next meeting (if one is needed-in my opinion, there shouldn’t be, unless this is an extraordinary circumstance)
(Probably a habit that I kept after taking notes that way in university.)įor me, meeting notes-and specifically business meeting notes-are essentially a record of the important things that were discussed and decided during a meeting.Įveryone has slightly different ways in which they use meeting notes, and I don’t think there’s one note-taking style that everyone must absolutely follow. I used to write down everything that was said. What are meeting notes? What do people typically record?Įveryone takes meeting notes differently. What if there was a way to remove that whole note-taking distraction during meetings? A way to make sure you don’t miss anything from your meeting and can remain fully present through the whole conversation?
(I can type pretty fast and I struggle too.) Sometimes, though, it’s hard to stay engaged when you’re trying to type down notes as someone is talking. But whether you’re in the office or checking in via video call, meetings can be a valuable way to catch up with the team and get up-to-date with everything that’s going on in the business. Love them or hate them, meetings are an everyday part of work culture.
