I want to thank you for joining me for this course on how to speak up at meetings. If you've ever had one interesting conversation with one person in your whole life, you already have all the skills you need to speak up in any meeting, even if they were 2000 people in the room. So, focus, give it some thought. Really think about how you can come across comfortable, confident, relaxed, the most important tip of all in this course, practice speaking on video, things you might say, in the actual meeting, not to memorize, but to just get comfortable speaking with how you come across. And the final tip of all is to speak out in every meeting, not to say something stupid, not just to hear the sound of your own voice, but to add something of interest or to ask a question that perhaps other people are thinking but are too timid to ask.
And this is one thing Have you ever go to a major speech of someone famous? A well known major convention, quite often there's microphones in the rows next to the seats. And only the first 10 people get to ask questions. Don't wait for that nerve to come up and get ready and psyched up. Because if you wait, then everyone will be in front of you won't have a chance to ask the question. Just before the speech even finishes go up there be one of the first one or two or three people there.
So you can ask a question. The more you ask questions in meetings, the more comfortable you'll get speaking up at any meeting, and the more you're going to impress people with your ideas, and your leadership potential. So good luck with all your future meetings and speaking out. Anywhere you please in life. I'm TJ Walker. Thanks for being a part of this course.
