How To Communicate Effectively During A Discussion?
Listening is a must
Listen attentively while others are speaking. If you cannot be a good listener, then you cannot be a good speaker. Making a point that already has been discussed or speaking out of context will make you look dumber than keeping quiet.
Notepad and pen
If you are just going to start trying to speak up during discussions, carry a notepad and pen with you so that you can make notes. Just write down what you want to say in simple sentences and speak it out once or twice within your head. This will help you speak out what you want to say with better clarity. Of course, don’t make it apparent that you are doing all of this. Subtlety is the key.
So, go ahead and speak up. Make an impact during the discussion. Let your colleagues and bosses know you are there in the discussion room!
