> without missing the actual conversation or meeting One part of the solution is social: persuade the participants that it is useful for someone to send around notes after the meeting with key conclusions and action-items. If this is socially-agreed, then in the meeting you can say something like: “Pardon, I want to make sure I got that. Can you repeat the part about auditing the data being passed into Salesforce?” This does impose an obligation to clean up your notes afterward, so is risky if you lack confidence in your notes. I have done this in my previous software engineering job and it was noted positively in my annual performance review.
