Making Every Word Count To Boldly Speak At Meeting
Oct 1, 2020
Making your voice heard is one way to gain respect and exposure in your school or workplace. Yet, you may feel like you have nothing new to say or contribute. Start by adding to the discussion by asking questions and furthering points that other people say. Set a goal to speak up and even prepare what you want to say ahead of time. 
Also, keep in mind that the way you speak up in a meeting will depend on the type of meeting, such as if it is a free discussion where anyone can jump in or if you need to raise your hand and wait your turn. As always, take care of yourself and calm your nerves to help you feel ready.
Having some ideas about what you want to say already planned out can help you to feel more confident when you speak up in a meeting. Try jotting down a few ideas for questions you can ask or ideas you can bring up in the meeting. Use these notes to guide you when you are ready to speak up.
If you want to speak up yet somehow talk your way out of it, try being the first to say something. Speaking first means you have less time to censor yourself or doubt yourself. Make a point to jump in first and create discussion instead of delaying your comments.
You don't need to shout or talk over people to say something confidently. Make your words meaningful. Even if you don't feel confident, show confidence in what you're saying and how you're saying it. Speak clearly and try to avoid fillers like “uh” or “um.”
