The Meeting is Not a Stage (And That’s Okay)
<p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>We’ve all been in that meeting.</p><p>The one where there are 15 people on the call, and you can practically feel the pressure building to "say something" just to prove you were listening.</p><p>You sit there, brain spinning, trying to formulate a question or a comment—not because you actually have one, but because you’re terrified of being the "quiet one."</p><p>Can we admit something?</p><p>Not everyone needs to use the mic.</p><p>The loudest voice in the room isn’t always the smartest. And the quietest person isn’t always the least engaged.</p><p>We need to redefine what "participation" looks like.</p><p>Sometimes, the most valuable thing you can do in a meeting is:</p><p>· Listen with full attention.</p><p>· Take notes that actually capture the nuance.</p><p>· Process the information deeply and follow up with a private, thoughtful message later.</p><p>Some of the best ideas I’ve ever heard were shared after the meeting was over, in a DM or a 1:1, because that person needed time to chew on the information before responding.</p><p>We are so obsessed with "speaking up" that we’ve forgotten the power of shutting up.</p><p>So, if you're in a meeting today and you don't have the answer, or you don't have a question, or you just need a minute to think? Give yourself permission to be quiet.</p><p>Your silence is not a weakness. It's often a sign that you are actually, genuinely paying attention.</p><p>Let’s be honest: Do you value people who talk a lot, or people who speak with intention?</p><p><br/></p>
