Hot-air, self-importance, shared insecurities, ineffective time-wasting... but enough of me! How can we attempt to make this precious time as effective and engaging as possible? I set out seven pointers that can help achieve these goals in ways that either reflect the good practice you are already doing, or will transform the experience of all who need to be attending.
