How To Express
Yourself In Meetings
With Confidence
7 Easy Ways
To Speak Up
And Be
Heard
Do you find it
challenging to speak
up in meetings (both
in person and virtual)?
Do you find it hard to
express your opinions,
views, and ideas?
Have you ever gone into and come out of
a working meeting completely silent?
Have you noticed
that there are
always those who
speak a lot and
dominate and
those who are
almost invisible in
meetings?
THE PROBLEM
If you don’t speak up, they will
stop inviting you to meetings.
Meeting organizers remove
participants from meetings
and committees when they
don’t participate.
Guidelines for efficient
meetings usually suggest
reducing the number of
people in meetings.
Who will meeting organizers
will remove from the meeting
list? The silent ones!
On the other
hand, people
who were not
part of a
committee are
invited just
because they
regularly express
their opinions.
You can’t add
value to a meeting
if you never speak.
And you can’t get
better at adding
value if you are
not in the meeting
and don’t regularly
engage.
THE BENEFITS
Speaking up in meetings helps you thrive
Speaking in meetings:
Increases your visibility
with people you don’t
get chances to interact
with
Justifies your presence
in the meeting
Promotes your ideas,
personal brand, and
strengths
That can lead
to:
Opportuni-
ties
Referrals
Promotions
More
invitations
to high-
profile
meetings

THE CHALLENGE
If you struggle to
speak up in
meetings, then
you miss the
opportunity to
promote yourself
and influence
others. You will
become anxious,
stressed, and less
confident.

Speak to the
meeting host in
advance
• You can let the person
running the meeting
know you have some
points to cover in
advance.
• That way the meeting
host can bring the
attention to you during
the meeting at the
right time.
1
Be visible in the
room
• In a virtual meeting,
keep your video on.
Remember that the
more you speak, the
more you’ll show up on
the screen of others.
2
Be visible in the
room
• In an in-person
meeting, sit
somewhere where
everyone can see you.
• This way you can
better read the
environment and easily
make eye contact when
you start to speak.
2
Be visible in the
room
• This will bring the
attention to you and
help you feel more
connected to others.
2
Be visible in the
room
• Sit at the center of a
rectangular table, sit
somewhere you will be
facing the people who
are either conducting
the meeting or who
tend to talk the most.
2
Speak first or
early on
• Why wait? Great
conversationalists
speak first.
• They dictate the theme
and bring it to
something they are
comfortable speaking
about and have
experience in.
3
Speak first or
early on
• You can use the same
trick to gain certain
control of the meeting.
• The start of meetings is
usually lower in energy.
• It is the easiest time to
be heard because
others are not yet
absorbed in their ideas.
3
Speak first or
early on
• When you share
comments at the start
of the meeting, you
feel more comfortable
during the entire
meeting and contribute
a lot more.
3
Speak first or
early on
• The early participation
builds your confidence
and causes others to
make more eye contact
with you while they
speak. This then makes
it more natural to join
the conversation.
3
Don’t wait for
silence, give
yourself
permission to
interrupt
• If you are in a meeting
where people are
constantly interrupting
each other, you have 2
choices to speak.
4
Don’t wait for
silence, give
yourself
permission to
interrupt
• You can ask the meeting host in advance or even during the meeting to
create a more structured process to allow everyone to have a chance to
speak.
• That could be as simple as raising the hands before speaking or going
around the table for comments.
4
Don’t wait for
silence, give
yourself
permission to
interrupt
• Or you can play the
game and speak up
when you notice the
person speaking is
wrapping up their
thoughts.
4
Don’t wait for
silence, give
yourself
permission to
interrupt
• Remember that many people feel uncomfortable with silence and will
speak just to fill in that void.
• When you notice the other person is wrapping up their point (that is
when their volume tends to go down), quickly start speaking at a
volume slightly higher than theirs.
• This will shift the attention to you in a natural way. Don’t think
interrupting in this form is confrontational.
4
Don’t wait for
silence, give
yourself
permission to
interrupt
• You can also start by
acknowledging their
contribution for
example saying, “that
was a great perspective
Joe” and then moving
on to your comment.
4
Don’t wait for
silence, give
yourself
permission to
interrupt
Ask to change
the rules or
learn how to
play well by the
rules!
4
Speak a little
louder
• With in-person meetings,
speak without hesitation.
• To be heard increase
your volume in first
words to bring the
room’s attention to you.
• That simple volume
increase signals
confidence.
5
Speak a little
louder
• The secret here is to
speak just a little
louder than whoever is
already speaking at the
start of your first
sentence.
5
Speak with your
body
• Your body can signal
engagement and
urgency. Use it to
command the room.
• A change in body
language can be an early
sign to others in the
meeting that you have
something to say.
• Lean forward, raise your
hands, and make eye
contact.
6
Speak with your
body
• In virtual meetings,
invest in good lighting
and frame the video so
others can see your
face and upper body
language.
• Look at the camera to
simulate strong eye
contact.
6
Rewind the
conversation to
make a comment
• You can and should
open a parenthesis
back to an earlier point
if you didn’t have the
chance to say
something you wanted
to share.
• Just say “about that
previous point, I would
like to add that …”
7
What if people move on to another topic?
First 5 minutes
This change in
attitude during a
meeting takes some
practice.
The easiest change
you can adopt as a
starting point is to
speak first or speak
early on, in the first 5
minutes of the
meeting.
Which technique will you
apply in your next meeting?
Remember that stress and
anxiety will reduce as you
continue to apply these tips.
Remember that your voice matters.
Honor yourself by sharing your perspective
with the world through meetings.

  • 23. Speak to the meeting host in advance • You can let the person running the meeting know you have some points to cover in advance. • That way the meeting host can bring the attention to you during the meeting at the right time. 1
  • 24. Be visible in the room • In a virtual meeting, keep your video on. Remember that the more you speak, the more you’ll show up on the screen of others. 2

  • 26. Be visible in the room • This will bring the attention to you and help you feel more connected to others. 2
  • 27. Be visible in the room • Sit at the center of a rectangular table, sit somewhere you will be facing the people who are either conducting the meeting or who tend to talk the most. 2
  • 28. Speak first or early on • Why wait? Great conversationalists speak first. • They dictate the theme and bring it to something they are comfortable speaking about and have experience in. 3
  • 29. Speak first or early on • You can use the same trick to gain certain control of the meeting. • The start of meetings is usually lower in energy. • It is the easiest time to be heard because others are not yet absorbed in their ideas. 3
  • 30. Speak first or early on • When you share comments at the start of the meeting, you feel more comfortable during the entire meeting and contribute a lot more. 3
  • 31. Speak first or early on • The early participation builds your confidence and causes others to make more eye contact with you while they speak. This then makes it more natural to join the conversation. 3
  • 32. Don’t wait for silence, give yourself permission to interrupt • If you are in a meeting where people are constantly interrupting each other, you have 2 choices to speak. 4
  • 33. Don’t wait for silence, give yourself permission to interrupt • You can ask the meeting host in advance or even during the meeting to create a more structured process to allow everyone to have a chance to speak. • That could be as simple as raising the hands before speaking or going around the table for comments. 4
  • 34. Don’t wait for silence, give yourself permission to interrupt • Or you can play the game and speak up when you notice the person speaking is wrapping up their thoughts. 4
  • 35. Don’t wait for silence, give yourself permission to interrupt • Remember that many people feel uncomfortable with silence and will speak just to fill in that void. • When you notice the other person is wrapping up their point (that is when their volume tends to go down), quickly start speaking at a volume slightly higher than theirs. • This will shift the attention to you in a natural way. Don’t think interrupting in this form is confrontational. 4
  • 36. Don’t wait for silence, give yourself permission to interrupt • You can also start by acknowledging their contribution for example saying, “that was a great perspective Joe” and then moving on to your comment. 4
  • 37. Don’t wait for silence, give yourself permission to interrupt Ask to change the rules or learn how to play well by the rules! 4
  • 38. Speak a little louder • With in-person meetings, speak without hesitation. • To be heard increase your volume in first words to bring the room’s attention to you. • That simple volume increase signals confidence. 5
  • 39. Speak a little louder • The secret here is to speak just a little louder than whoever is already speaking at the start of your first sentence. 5
  • 40. Speak with your body • Your body can signal engagement and urgency. Use it to command the room. • A change in body language can be an early sign to others in the meeting that you have something to say. • Lean forward, raise your hands, and make eye contact. 6
  • 41. Speak with your body • In virtual meetings, invest in good lighting and frame the video so others can see your face and upper body language. • Look at the camera to simulate strong eye contact. 6
  • 42. Rewind the conversation to make a comment • You can and should open a parenthesis back to an earlier point if you didn’t have the chance to say something you wanted to share. • Just say “about that previous point, I would like to add that …” 7 What if people move on to another topic?
  • 43. First 5 minutes This change in attitude during a meeting takes some practice. The easiest change you can adopt as a starting point is to speak first or speak early on, in the first 5 minutes of the meeting.
