Thoughtful Observer

You’re ready to stop watching meetings pass you by and start shaping conversations with your insight.

 Your Big Picture Next Steps

You’re someone who reads the room, spots what’s really going on, and sees solutions others often miss.

But, as a Thoughtful Observer, you know your quiet strength can sometimes mean your insights are left unsaid, leading to missed chances to shape outcomes in meetings.

You’re ready for practical advice that suits your thoughtful approach and helps you get your voice heard, without having to become someone you’re not.

 

What You May Have Tried Before

(and Why They Didn’t Work)

 

  • Telling yourself you’ll “just jump in” at the next meeting, only to wait for the right moment (and miss it, again).

  • Writing down your ideas, hoping you’ll get the chance to share, but never quite finding the opening.

  • Following up with an email after meetings, wishing you’d spoken up when it counted.

5 Quick Actions You Can Take (First 2: Immediate!)

l

Right now: Write down one observation or insight from a recent meeting that you didn’t share. Say it aloud, as if you’re sharing it with the team.

Next 5 minutes: Choose a simple sentence starter (“I’d like to add…” or “From my perspective…”) and practise saying it out loud three times. Repeat, practice again and again, to make it feel natural.
Want extra encouragement? Send your idea to a supportive colleague and, if appropriate, ask for their thoughts.

For your next meeting, set your focus: For example, “I will decide now what I will contribute; one idea, even if it’s brief.”

u

After your next meeting: Pause or a quick reset ,then jot down a quick reflection: Did you speak up? How did it feel? What helped or got in the way? Remember to be as judgment-free as possible!

Identify one moment in a meeting where you could have spoken up. Even if you didn’t. Remove any judgment; you already know that doesn’t work. Then…

a. Replay the scene and notice the moment where you could have added your comment.

b. Next, replay the same scene and include your comment.

Now you’re beginning to create new neural pathways.
