    Keep the discussion to items the affect the entire team/multiple disciplines. Anything super specific to a single discipline can be set aside for a side bar discussion.

    I'd make sure to have some sort of agenda that you can pass out to people so that they can see what's going to be discussed in the meeting and think about any questions or comments that they may have. On top of that I'd always make sure that people are comfortable talking in meetings and creating a collaborative environment.

    I think you should have an agenda that is sent out pre meeting and whatever relevant information as well so stakeholders can prepare for your meeting and allow the meeting to be of value rather than it be the first time they see it.

    I share my screen with the meeting agenda on it, and try to keep the yapping to a minimum.

It took me a long time to say it out loud, but I regret choosing this path. The pay is stable, but the constant pressure and lack of fulfillment are leaving me feeling like I'm ready to exit. I’m actually thinking about a total career change later in life. Has anyone successfully walked away from engineering after a decade plus?

How do you handle disagreements with your manager about technical decisions? I’ve learned to pick my battles and always come with data instead of opinions when I do push back. It doesn’t always work, but it at least keeps the conversation productive. How do you approach it?

I'm a junior engineer, but I inherited a project mid-construction because the designer left. I wasn't around for the early phases, but now I’m running the site meetings. I'm stressed about the technical gap and being asked questions I don't know the answers to. I don't want to appear clueless in front of the clients, even though I am. Is it okay to say that I don't know, but I will get back to them? Or does that look unprofessional?

Lately, I've noticed it's been difficult to find work for someone who knows everything about construction and uses CAD systems. Is this true? Or am I doing something wrong?

What’s something that seemed critically important early in your career but matters much less to you now? For me, being the smartest person in the room has become a lot less important than being part of a strong team.
