learning and working up the corporate ladder

Most of my day to day work at the office involves meeting with other people. Sometimes are more of a “one to one” thing whilst in other occasions meetings become a crazy get together with more than 10 people sitting around the table… or on the phone lines, as we live in the era of conference calls and videoconferences.
