ฝึกพูดภาษาอังกฤษด้วยเทคนิค Shadowing จากวิดีโอ: Finding Your Voice in the Boardroom

กำลังสร้างบทเรียน...
1
When I first joined the board, I think I was very nervous about voicing my questions
2
or concerns or opinions because I was the newest person and everyone else around the table was more senior and more experienced.
3
And so I discounted what I might want to say.
4
The time frame between joining a board and becoming a more active member that's giving back has shortened.
5
Maybe we feel like we don't belong in that room when you're getting on some of those first boards, but you do.
6
I think the surprising thing is how everybody was very welcoming and also that not everyone knows everything.
7
You're not supposed to know everything.
8
Now that I've seen how Board Evolution works and I've seen how thoughtful we are about new members that we bring in,
9
I see that it's a very intentional process to pick people from different backgrounds, from different career paths, from different areas of expertise.
10
The companies that are looking for you are going to look for the skill sets
11
that you bring and it doesn't mean that you need to know everything.
12
It means you need to know what you know and bring that to the board.
13
If you're going to be on a board, we need your voice.
14
We need you to be active.
15
And so when I catch people sitting back, I try to catch that moment and try to pivot it as quickly as possible
16
so that the board can benefit and the organization can benefit.
17
You don't speak up and contribute your voice.
18
You're really depriving the whole company and the whole board of your contributions.
19
I would recommend new board members do is to be thoughtful, obviously be good listeners, but also be comfortable speaking up and asking questions
20
so that you can be an active participant and contributor from day one.
