Notes
One thing I got feedback on was the notes I took at the meeting. I was able to walk away from the meeting and put together about a page and a half on what we talked about. It looks like magic, but it's not really. It involves three things:
An agenda: Just write down the things you think you should talk about in the meeting. This helps make sure you don't forget anything, plus it helps keep direction if the meeting starts to wander.
Take notes: Not many, just enough about the key points. Since you already have a list of the things you will be talking about, half your notes are already taken for you. Just add any little tidbits you need to remember. Concentrate primarily on decisions that were made and things people need to do. You might also note some discussion if it was heated, or you got to the decision in a convoluted way.
Write 'em up: Right after the meeting, as soon as possible, sit down and type up the notes you took. The agenda and the notes will help to prime your memory, so at this point, dump as much detail as you think is important.
In the end, you'll have a solid page of stuff people need to remember, you'll feel like you're on top of things (which you are), and you'll look really good. And looking good with minimum effort is always a good thing.
