How to Contribute More to Meetings?

My manager suggested that I speak up more in meetings, which got me thinking. I'm not sure what else to say besides the basics. Does anyone else here struggle with this? Any tips for contributing more to meetings? I'd appreciate some advice!

There is a difference between finishing tasks and being able create/figure out what needs to be done. The task doer is a junior role that has a hard ceiling. Your manager is right, if you are uncomfortable talking you can try to do this via docs and working on yourself

You can contribute to meetings by 1. Organically growing your knowledge by getting and understanding more systems you work on. 2. Preparing for the meeting. Reading the agenda, researching beforehand. 3. Readings outside of work. How are other companies doing something similar. How did others fail?

My manager gave me the same feedback many times. He also says it’s a personality thing so can’t change much, I guess he gave up on me 🤣🤣🤣

I always become numb when there are more than 5 people in a meeting. But I can express my opinion if it’s less people.

HATEEEE people that don’t pull weight in meetings. For years I’ve been the sole person driving ideation during calls, answering questions, and responding to colleagues. Talking is an important part of our job too. COMMUNICATION!!

1. Prepare on the talking points in advance 2. Ask questions if you are not clear about something 3. Pitch ideas you are sure about. Follow pyramid principle of communication
