A good meeting requires from me to be "present", to be fully present, with all my attention, which is with all my senses, on all levels (physically, energetically, emotionally, spiritually).
A meeting without peoples presence, or with any one being just partly present, with it, is not a meeting at all. In a way it is insulting not to "show up" to a meeting, like being there but not really present. Most meetings today seem to be such head-orientated affairs, without the participants presence, with just a minimum level of attention, just enough to "push one's point", one's agenda, perhaps to exchange some thoughts, but paying no real attention to "the other". Communion, community can't happen then, and it often remains a lip service.
How often are we not "showing up", not showing our selves, revealing only what we deem the necessary minimum? The root-cause is fear and mistrust, and though we yearn for Love we are closed to its way.
Presence is the prerequisite, the basis for all communion.
It does not mean that one needs to contribute verbally all the time. Some deep meetings happen in the silence, if allowed. Even when exchanging ideas and thoughts, when talking, the communion happens in the silence after we have spoken, when we let the idea speak to us, when it "sinks in", or when we feel this elation, uplifting, by being touched by the idea.
Ideas are angels. We need to open to them. Then a meeting can become truly inspired.
