What kind of bee are you?
In meetings as in a hive, collaboration is essential. A lot of things are based on you, remember that you have a team to support you.
In the hive, the drones have the only task of fertilizing the queen. In meetings, the drone is rather an external collaborator who brings vital expertise to the meeting, which the other participants benefits.
Your knowledge and ability to communicate it appropriately to the rest of the group is recognized. Of course, you also have tasks to do, tasks that are essential to the proper operation of the team and of the business.
Do you sometimes hesitate to take your place in meetings? Do you feel that you are not bringing anything new? Don't get me wrong! In a meeting as in a hive, everyone is essential!
During their life cycle, worker bees are transformed. At the beginning of their lives, they are responsible for caring for and feeding other bees. As they age, they move further away from the hive to collect pollen. In meetings, it's the same thing, since there are participants and partners.
Like a junior worker bee, you work a lot! During a meeting, as a participant, you have several files to present; you are expected to perform many tasks. Your tasks are also varied; you literally browse from one file to another (and from one meeting to another).
Remember that communication is essential to the success of your projects. Feel free to discuss with the meeting leader, either to ask questions or to ask him to clarify certain points.

Like a senior worker bee, you have a lot of experience! You are the ideal partner to support the leader in the preparation and execution of the meeting. So you have a lot of work to do. The leader is counting on you to help him/her to carry out a meeting that will certainly be well structured.
