I'm back! I survived. You are all right of course - what matters is that I set it up in the first place and managed to get
some people to turn up.
There was one 'attendee' who thought they were an expect and talked loudly on things not really related to the subject matter.
I find these sorts of people really hard to deal with - always have. I think of lots of things BEFORE and AFTER as to how I could handle them but always feel a bit railroaded/overshadowed at the time. I tried to get back to the agenda a few times but she always ended up
holding court.
I find I am quite good at bringing these things together, marketing them but not chairing them - I feel like a rabbit in the headlights when I'm faced with faces if you see what I mean. I write down all the things I plan to say, they the meeting gets side tracked and I don't say them! I need a thicker skin.
Anyway, I survived and the next one is months away now.
Thanks for your wonderful support ladies
