YES. THIS. Although, I'm going to come at it from a different direction than kleinbl00. Instead of looking at the meeting as her lecturing you, turn it around and make it a meeting of you reporting to her about what you have accomplished. Then she can make suggestions or ask questions about what you have accomplished, rather than wondering if you have done X, Y, and Z. Flip your understanding of what a meeting is. Meetings are not where you discuss things. Meetings are where you report on the progress of the projects you are working on, and ask for specific help on specific sticking points. This is a more efficient use of everyone's time, it makes you into a leader, and it will have the added benefit of making your meetings extremely short. My weekly meetings with my manager are about 5 minutes long. "Project X is here, Project Y is waiting for ____, and Project Z was completed and delivered." Manager: "Great. Need anything from me?" Me: "Yeah. Can you get on Lonnie's case and tell him that I need a response to my email this week? He's been putting me off." Manager: "You got it." Meeting over. Tell her first.
