First Meeting Guide

A good first meeting starts before anyone arrives. Confirm timing, understand the venue rules, keep communication clear, protect personal information and make sure every adult understands that comfort and consent remain more important than completing a plan.

Before leaving home

Reconfirm the time and general plan rather than relying on an old message. Keep your own transport options and avoid sharing unnecessary personal information with third parties.

At the meeting

A first meeting should allow enough time for everyone to become comfortable and confirm expectations. Being polite, punctual and willing to communicate matters more than trying to impress.
