S2E12 Unlock your voice in meetings
"Your value is not determined by how often or how loudly you speak. Embrace your individuality and find your own unique way to contribute in meetings."
In this weeks episode of Her Leadership Coach you will hear about strategies quietly determined career women can use to ensure they are part of the conversation.
I know meetings can be challenging, especially when extroverted colleagues dominate the conversation. This prompted me to offer insights on how to make your voice heard, even if you're introverted. I touched on topics like societal expectations, unconscious bias, and imposter syndrome, which can affect an introvert's ability to express their ideas. Additionally, I shared some effective techniques for joining the conversation and building on others' ideas. By shifting our mindset and empowering ourselves to take action, introverted women leaders can ensure their voices are heard and valued in various leadership situations.
In this episode, you will learn:
- How societal expectations, unconscious biases, imposter syndrome, and communication styles affect women's confidence in sharing their opinions.
- Tips and strategies for navigating video calls, making contributions in virtual and face-to-face meetings, and following up after meetings to ensure their voice is heard.
- The importance of self-care for introverted women, and how scheduling quiet time can help recharge and reflect.
