The Meeting – Solicit Feedback

Along with the feeling of being Snookered By a Long Break I had the impression that I was merely an ornament, that I had nothing to contribute – and hence my presence was a waste of time for us all.

The wise interviewer pauses every 120 seconds and asks for feedback.

If nothing else it serves as a check to see if the audience is still awake.

Better still, it lets us measure if we are still on the right track, or if, perhaps, we have strayed a little way from our jointly perceived goal.
