How Much Do You Prepare for These Types of Meetings?

i have not prepared at all for the meetings, acause i felt like mebeing a mere participant in the meeting with a bunch of other people wouldn't really need me to prepare. But if i could work on mentally conditioning myself, i can see that that is necessary. What's the value that you bring in these other meetings, where it's cross functional and with more senor people? How would you define that value? Why are you at the table? Why is, why is danela there? Right?
