Marc Haine on why you hold back ideas in meetings and how to speak up with intention. The key: prepare one relevant point beforehand so you're ready when the moment comes, instead of scrambling or staying silent.
How can we be prepared? Because sometimes, you have to prepare yourself in advance for these impromptu situations. And what do I need to do to make sure that I'm not sitting through a meeting and being silent the entire meeting? Because ultimately, you do have expertise to share. You do have opinions that are worth sharing with these groups. And we hesitate. We hold ourselves back. So, how can we prepare ourselves to speak up In whatever situation it is. In that board meeting, in that business meeting, or in that presentation format, or with a client. We have to be ready to speak up. But not just speak up and take up space and be noisy. But speak up and speak with intention and speak in a way that is more engaging and relevant to the people you're speaking to.
