For many, having to speak up at meetings feels like torture.
What if you say something stupid/irrelevant/incorrect? Or what if (shudder) people disagree with your point? Oh, and what if someone asks you a question and you don’t know the answer, or even what they are talking about?
In your mind, it’s quite obvious that whatever you say in that meeting will reveal your total imposter status and make everyone question why you got the promotion in the first place.
Well, let me share a secret with you.
Every manager you have ever worked with has felt like this at some point (and may still do from time to time)
The simple truth is this.
Good leaders want your input.
You work in the detail and they often need their ideas sense checked against that. They also want to hear ideas of your own. And if you don’t speak, you may come across as disinterested or disengaged.
But how do you get the confidence to speak up in meetings?
Well, it won’t appear overnight but it is something you can develop.
Come and join this challenge and find the confidence to let your voice be heard.
