Build Up Self-Confidence in Meetings
On this page
Tip
Do you hold back in meetings? Are you unsure how to jump in and make yourself heard? It’s easy to go unnoticed when everyone is excited about a topic. But editing yourself only robs yourself (and your team) of your ideas. To make sure your voice is in the mix, try claiming space by announcing your contribution before launching into your point.
For example, you might ask, “Can we pause to look at this from the customer’s perspective?” or say, “Let’s step back and take a longer-term view of these metrics.” This will both capture people’s attention and focus the discussion.
Then, articulate the skeleton of your proposal so people have a sense of what you’re suggesting before you dive into the details.
Next, flesh out your idea, explaining why it’s important. People need to know why they should care or make it a priority now.
Lastly, invite feedback with questions like, “How many of you feel this way?” or “What are your thoughts on this topic?” This will allow people to think more deeply about what you’ve just shared and give you a sense of how your message is being received.

🇨🇳 在你会议中建立自信
你会在会议中退缩吗?你是否不确定如何跳出来让别人听到你的想法?当每个人都对一个话题感到兴奋时，很容易被忽视。但是编辑你自己只会剥夺你自己(和你的团队)的想法。为了确保你的声音也在其中，试着在发表你的观点之前先宣布你的观点。
例如，你可能会问，“我们可以暂停一下，从客户的角度来看这个问题吗?”或者说，“让我们后退一步，从更长远的角度来看待这些指标。”这既能吸引人们的注意力，也能集中讨论。
接下来，充实你的想法，解释为什么它很重要。人们需要知道为什么他们应该关心它，或者现在就把它作为优先事项。
最后，用诸如“你们中有多少人有这种感觉?”或者“你对这个话题有什么看法?”这会让人们更深入地思考你刚刚分享的内容，并让你知道你的信息是如何被接受的。
