How to Speak in Meetings
Making your voice heard is one way to gain respect in your school or workplace. Yet, you may feel like you have nothing new to say or contribute. Here are some ways to make you feel ready for a meeting.
1.Having some ideas about what you want to say already planned out can help you to feel more confident in a meeting. Try writing down a few ideas for questions you can ask or ideas you can bring up in the meeting2.
Be the first speaker. If you want to speak yet somehow talk your way out of it, try being the first to say something. 3.Make a point to jump in first and create discussion instead of delaying your comments.
Speak confidently. 4.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”.
Make a brief point. There’s no need, to ramble on (啰嗦地说) to make sure that you’re heard or that people understand you. 5. Make what you say memorable, not time-wasting. Take some time to form your thoughts and ideas, and then say it in a clear and effective way.
A.Make sure you turn to your teachers for help.
B.Focus on speaking clearly and with fewer words.
C.Plan out a few talking points before the meeting.
D.Speaking first means you have less time to doubt yourself.
E.Use these notes to guide you when you are ready to speak.
F.Surround yourself with people who make you feel good about yourself.
G.You don’t need to shout or talk over people to say something confidently.
