Would you rather be quiet during a meeting or be active?

 

That is not the norm to speak up or to be quiet when you are in meeting. I think is very awful that I heard a story about the culture in a company. When the presenter was pitching up some ideas during the meeting and the attendee texted some messages through their phone and keep quiet when Q & A. After the meeting, they went to another place and offered all kinds of opinions about that meeting. This mic-drop moment has no productive effective to the company,

Muster the courage to have this kind of conversation by open and honest conversation:

1.Confidence: Call me Captain Obvious out loud (mentally pumping yourself)

2. Intent: knowing & understanding the situation or difficulties 

3. Delivery:How you frame the actual message, in a way of factual or real, no sugarcoating , empathetic and caring are needed 

4.Always striving to seek a solution. Possible solutions provide possible options

If this situations have been improved, we will become more productive, less fearful and even happier at work. Need a larger group in conversation is better than individual to be more benefit for the company.
