How do you behave during your first meeting with someone influential in your field?

  • I will prepare questions or topics for discussion to make an impression.
  • I'm trying to be natural and have a relaxed conversation.
  • I will let the other person dominate the conversation and just actively listen.
  • I avoid forced self-presentation and prefer to observe the dynamics of the situation.
  • If there is no reason for a conversation, I won't impose myself into it.
