Some of the hardest speaking moments happen in small rooms.

A team meeting, a family gathering, or a first conversation with someone new.

April is my private coaching client and part of Elevate Your Voice Academy, my live coaching experience for quiet high-achieving leaders.

Before working with me, April avoided being part of small groups at work and avoided small talk at family gatherings.

Now, April is interviewing for new positions and starting conversations at the grocery store for practice. She also delivered a speech at her mom’s 75th birthday celebration.

If speaking up in meetings feels uncomfortable, you avoid it.
Avoiding it gives you temporary relief.
Over time, it makes the fear, anxiety, or discomfort stronger.

I spent eight years studying this in medical school and in my psychiatry residency training.

Neuroplasticity is your brain’s ability to get better at the things you do repeatedly.

Neuroplasticity doesn’t care if the habit is good or bad. It just keeps strengthening the ones you keep practicing.

It’s easy to get defensive when someone asks you a question that’s designed to push your buttons and get you to react.

In this 1972 Meet the Press interview, the late Gloria Steinem used a simple 3-step framework to disagree without getting defensive.

Watch to the end for the 3 simple steps you can use too in high-stakes conversations.

Save this and share it with a friend who might find it helpful.

Rest in power Queen.

Wise words from the iconic Dolly Parton.

Fear, self-doubt, and nerves are a normal part of speaking in a high-stakes moment.

And you have the power to choose to stay quiet or speak in spite of the fear.

Speaking in spite of the fear gets easier when you’re surrounded by people who understand exactly what you’re up against.

If you’re ready to speak up, be seen, and be taken seriously in career-shaping moments, join my community of quiet high achieving leaders on Substack.

If someone says something rude at work, try this simple 3 step response:

1. Five seconds of silence.
2. Ask them to repeat it.
3. Let it sit.

The silence gives you time to take a deep belly breath and avoid reacting.

What's easy for some is hard-won for others.

When you've been the quietest person in the room for years or even decades, speaking up when it feels more comfortable to just nod and smile is worth celebrating.

Let's celebrate all acts of courage, big and small.

I choose to spend a few hours each month with people I find difficult, to practice patience and high-stakes communication.

Practicing staying composed and responding strategically when someone pushes your buttons is required if you want to handle unexpected tough conversations smoothly.
