1️⃣ Define Your Purpose – Enter the meeting with a clear goal. Knowing what you need to achieve keeps your mind engaged & prevents passive listening. 2️⃣ Engage Proactively – Ask insightful questions, summarize key points & contribute actively. This not only helps you stay focused but also adds value to the discussion. 3️⃣ Take Smart Notes – Capture key takeaways, decisions & action items rather than transcribing everything. Structured notes keep you mentally involved. 4️⃣ Use Visual Aids – Mind maps, flowcharts or simple bullet lists can help process information faster & keep your brain engaged. 5️⃣ Control Distractions – Put your phone on silent, avoid multitasking & take micro-breaks (deep breaths, stretching) to refresh your focus.

I read the perspective of a lot of people but most of them are answering for people who are at senior level lets talk about people at junior level, we cannot define the agenda of the meeting, we have been asked to join the meets and we have to. In situations where junior-level employees are required to attend meetings without a predefined agenda, staying focused during long client calls can be challenging. To manage this, I find it helpful to sit with a pen and notebook to jot down key points from the meeting. This allows me to stay attentive and retain important information. Additionally, asking clarifying questions not only helps to deepen my understanding but also keeps me actively engaged in the conversation.

To stay engaged with client in lengthy client meeting is quite complex but you can archive it by.. 1) Clear the agenda for the discussion. 2) Make sure to have clear vision of the meeting. 3) Take note of every important discussion point and based on that confirm the actions items. 4) Have design document or flowchart ready to explain the process flow in best way possible. 5) Do not get distracted during the meeting because loosing any important point can lead to misunderstanding. 6) Always get the summary of discussion get confirmed with client. 7) Ask for the query or improvements required.
