1
You can be incredibly good at your job, but you will still be overlooked if no one hears what you think.
2
I'm currently working with a client who has this exact issue.
3
She's incredibly competent, incredibly smart, but she struggles to speak up in meetings.
4
So she would have an opinion, get nervous, second -guess herself, and then hold back.
5
And this becomes a problem if you want to grow your career
6
because your manager and your co -workers never get to hear your opinions and see your judgment, especially your spontaneous judgment.
7
As of first, we needed to work on the nervousness itself, of course.
8
But then we got really practical about the actual meeting.
9
How do you enter the conversation?
10
How do you say what you think without constantly softening it?
11
And then together we created a few ways that she could phrase herself that actually sounded like her.
12
And then she tested this in real life and when she got nervous or got stuck, she just texted me on WhatsApp and we can work through it right away.
13
And this is how I work in coaching.
14
We map out what situations that are actually holding you back, what behavior lies underneath it, and then we work through it one by one.
15
Using the things that are actually happening in your life.
