Have you ever found yourself in the middle of a meeting and someone says something completely enlightened but you are too busy taking notes that you aren’t able to ask him or her to expand? I think we all have. When we are too focused on writing down notes so we “don’t miss anything,” that’s when we actually miss everything.

Imagine having the ability to completely engage in the meeting conversation instead of hanging on each word? Imagine being able to hear fully, process fully, and stop the conversation to ask for further elaboration. Who knows? Maybe the new person entering your team who says something value-packed would actually get to expand because you are so fully engaged in the conversation you could stop him or her and ask that he or she elaborate on the last thing that was said?

Imagine what could happen? Business growth and aha moments don’t arrive when people are anxiously writing down words. They arrive over true genuine conversations that are free flowing and truly engaged.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does taking notes during meetings hurt engagement?

When you focus on writing down everything so you "don't miss anything," your attention is split and you often miss the substance of what is being said. Genuine engagement means listening fully, processing ideas, and being able to stop and ask someone to elaborate. That kind of free-flowing conversation is where business growth and breakthrough ideas actually emerge.

How can I stay fully present in a meeting without missing important details?

The key is to let a tool handle the note-taking while you concentrate on the discussion. Laxis is an intelligent meeting assistant that captures conversations and records and transcribes them in real time, so you no longer have to multitask.
