I used to sit in meetings thinking if I stayed quiet, no one would notice. 🤐 Plot twist: People notice. And when you don't say anything, you don't come across as thoughtful - you come across as invisible. Here's what changed everything for me: One simple rule - say something within the first 5 minutes of every meeting. Even if it's small. I'd prepare one line ahead of time, and once I said it, the pressure was gone. My go-to strategies: -Ask a clarifying question early -Build on someone else's point -Share a quick relevant insight And when meetings flew by without me speaking? I'd wrap up with: "Looks like we covered XYZ and next steps are ABC." That one habit completely transformed how people saw me. It showed I was engaged, confident, and part of the conversation - not just a warm body in the room. The truth? Your silence isn't protecting you from judgment. It's guaranteeing you'll be forgotten. Don't sit through meetings like a ghost. Speak up, even if it's just once. That's how people start to remember you.
