Most people think meetings are about what you say—but they’re actually about how you show up. There’s a whole hidden side to meetings that no one ever teaches you, yet everyone around the table notices.

In this episode of the Learn and Work Smarter Podcast, I’m breaking down the unspoken rules of meeting etiquette and behavior—the small details that quietly shape your reputation at work. You’ll learn how to show professionalism without overthinking it, when to speak (and when not to), and how to use every meeting as a chance to earn credibility.

This episode is especially useful for new professionals, interns, and students entering the workplace for the first time. But, even seasoned pros might pick up a few reminders that make a big difference.

Learn and Work Smarter is my weekly podcast show for students and career professionals who want practical, science-backed tactics to manage work and life without burning out.

I take a compassionate yet direct approach, blending insights from cognitive science with two decades of coaching and teaching experience, and a master's degree in special education. Each episode tackles one concrete strategy—flexible time-blocking, executive-function skill-building, active-recall study methods, note-taking systems that drive action, and more—so you understand why it works and exactly how to apply it.

Expect a mix of solo deep dives, monthly listener Q&As, and expert interviews that unpack real-world challenges in school and work.

If you’re after practical strategies—not empty motivation—and care about results that last beyond the next exam or deadline, this podcast is for you. Tune in, take what you need, and never stop learning.
