#11 How to handle meetings as an introvert

The points we’ve covered. The first is when meetings are planned in advanceThe second point is to contribute what you think is valuableThird we went over thinking to yourself that when you are not speaking up that is whether you have nothing to contribute or whether you’re being shyNext we covered that there is power in speaking up every now and then when you are usually quietAfter that we covered the point of raising your hand when you want to make a subtle guest of “I have something to say but I’m going to resort to shouting”I really emphasised the point of not underselling yourself. Really know that, what you have to say is probably going to be valuable so don’t get caught in the imposter syndrome and think that you have nothing valuable to addAnd last we went over being put on the spot. How you can prevent that by letting people know up front that doesn’t work for you and when you are put on the spot, how you can deal with it by saying “I have nothing to add” or “when something comes to mind I will let you know”Timestamp01:33 Planned in advance02:04 Contribute what you think is valuable03:16 Nothing to add or being shy04:47 The power of being quiet06:07 Raising your hand07:41 Don't undersell yourself09:00 Being put on the spot12:08 SummarySupport the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/inthrivert) See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
