If you or people you work directly with are socially awkward / have social anxiety, always have some sort of visual aid handy when having meetings.

If you deal with social anxiety or work with people that have this, it makes meetings much more comfortable if you have something to look at besides each other. Print that report out, or project your laptop onto the screen, or even have them pull up something on their computer. It takes the pressure of eye contact off of everyone, and everybody can be more relaxed and have a more productive meeting. This also applies to video meetings: share your screen and display something to go along with the points you’re making.
