My town hall meetings are with friends and neighbors, fellow Americans. We engage. Sheila Jackson Lee
Meetings are the linchpin of everything. If someone says you have an hour to investigate a company, I wouldn’t look at the balance sheet. I’d watch their executive team in a meeting for an hour.

You know, when I sit in meetings and things are very tense and people take things extremely seriously and they invest a lot of their ego, I sometimes think to myself, ‘Come on, you know, there’s life and there’s death and there is love.’ And all of that ego business is nonsense compared to that.

We’ve had Town Hall meetings, we’ve witnessed election after election, in which the American people have taken a position on the President’s health care bill. And the bottom line is the people don’t like this bill. They don’t want it. Eric Cantor

We all have original ideas. Even if we don’t see ourselves as supercreative or as wild nonconformists, we have insights every day about how the world around us could be better.

I try to schedule my meetings in the afternoon. Sam Altman
In the summer of 2007, I was in New York for some meetings and… I rented a car and just drove to Staten Island to take a glance and remind myself about it. I ended up staying a couple of days there in a hotel and I’ve been all over the island several times since. Lawrence O’Donnell

Let’s be honest; it’s rather easy to be busy. We all can think up a list of tasks that will overwhelm our schedules.

Debating clubs among boys are very useful, not only as affording pleasant meetings and interesting discussions, but also as serving for training grounds for developing the knowledge and the qualities that are needed in public life. Annie Besant
Be the best you can be, but acknowledge that you will make mistakes, and then know which errors to let go of. There will be typos in e-mails, meetings you are late for, daily to-do lists that don’t get completed. Cut yourself some slack and, more important, reward yourself along the way. Caroline Ghosn
The majority of meetings should be discussions that lead to decisions. Patrick Lencioni
Books like Munro’s are so deeply personal and idiosyncratic that it feels like a violation to subject them to the crude business of committee meetings and PR releases; you might as well storm a butterfly den with a klieg light. Ben Dolnick
At town meetings, you can see the shy folks, the ones who have trouble sounding off in public, leaning against the back wall or bending over their knitting. On talk radio, those people are invisible, but they’re there. It’s a mistake to think that the blowhards who call in speak for the nation. Donella Meadows
It was seldom that I attended any religious meetings, as my parents had not much faith in and were never so unfortunate as to unite themselves with any of the religious sects. Orson Pratt

Lots are written about how ‘she shows up at board meetings in the saree.’ My God, I have never worn a saree to board meetings; people play it out in different ways.

There will never be a replacement for that ongoing physical contact. But I don’t think blogging is meant to replace the face-to-face of friendships and meetings. Blogging is a way to keep in touch with a larger group of people on an ongoing basis, in a more efficient way. Indra Nooyi
I had some wonderful dreaming meetings. I can’t tell you specifically what they’ve been in the recent months. In the past they’ve been verbal kinds of messages that he needed to give me. Now they’re more dreams of his presence. Judy Collins
Has anyone ever said, ‘I wish I could go to more meetings today’? Matt Mullenweg

We reflect on our successes and failures at monthly staff meetings. Charles Best

Why should Congresspeople have to visit D.C.? Thanks to Skype, meetings are possible across the country. Thanks to email, communications are simple. And we’ve had the technology to vote from afar for decades. Why should we have backroom deals made over cigars thousands of miles distant from those who are affected by those deals? Ben Shapiro
To this day, I can’t understand why the closest man to Jimmy Carter, the key staff guy at the White House, didn’t even join us at the White House breakfast meetings where we discussed upcoming legislation with the president.
