Tips you can use!
Don't hog the floor
There is always someone who brings meetings to a grinding halt by droning on and on. Even if you are sure you're not "that guy," do some mental preparation before you go and engage in active listening while there. Such behavior can be infectious. Try it; you just might get through the entire agenda on time.
Button up that overcoat!
I know that being under-dressed in the winter does not directly cause colds or flu, but it can reduce your resistance to germs and make you more susceptible. So put on that hat, pull out those gloves and suit up for the cold. No one has time to be sick anymore.
Color me happy
Winter dreariness saps your energy. But when presenting or speaking to a group, you need to look and sound alive—which might be a challenge this time of year! One quick fix is to wear a splash of color near your face: a jewel-toned scarf or a richly-hued tie. Even if your business wardrobe tends to be subdued, a bit of color can go a long way toward lifting your spirits.
