4 Types of People in a Meeting/Discussion/Seminar/Talk. Which one are you?

During our weekly Group Meeting 2 weeks ago, our Creative Director, Joescher brought up a topic that he learned from his one of Toastmasters Leadership Meeting.

At any point in our lives, we are bound to be attending some sort of meeting, discussion, seminar or talk. Sometimes it's about something we are interested about and sometime it is made compulsory for us to attend. But what mental state do we normally take on when it comes to things like this?

According to Joescher, there are 4 Types of People or the state of mind a person takes on when in a Meeting/Discussion/Seminar/Talk: The Prisoner, The Graduate, The Holiday Maker, The Student.

The Prisoner is one who's feels like they are forced to come and the moment they are on location, they are like prisoners in their own mind.
The Graduate is one who has the mentality of having just graduated from University. Everything that is stated to them is recieved with a "Been there, Done that" mentality. They percieve themselves as knowing everything and is not willing/receptive to learn something new.

The Holiday Maker is someone who is present but his/her mind is floating elsewhere most of the time.

The Student is someone who is present both in body and mind. He/she comes ready with an eagerness to learn because he/she feel that there will something new that they can learn from the experience.

Now who would you wanna be? The prisoner? The graduate? The holiday maker? or the student? All of us at CC+J choose to make the Students our goal. What about you?
