Partner meetings

How

Mondays are always full of opportunities, and at osoc they present themselves as partner meetings.

To keep in mind for your first meeting:

• Present your team members (students and coaches)

• Check if you understood all needs and goals

• List all the questions you have

• Decide who does the talking

• Decide who takes notes

Some tips and tricks can come in handy if you've never attended a client meeting before:
