Never go to the meeting without preparation. I like the frame of "fact, story and ask." Thank you Christine.

Great video! Thank you. A tip I learned was something a senior executive at my workplace shared: when you have something to say, take a deep breath and say it! Overtime you will get a hang of your emotions and delivery and it would start to feel natural

People want to hear you question and reflect on their point of view. This will make you the most facinating person in the meeting. And you don't have to speak much except to listen closely.

Such a helpful video Christine! This is a challenge for many professionals and the bigger the meeting gets, the more intimidating it can be to speak up. Jumping into a group conversation is certainly a confidence test.

Thank you for sharing your awkwardness! When you put yourself in your audience's shoes, they can empathize with your pain and gain confidence that they can follow your example. So many KZreadrs edit out their awkward pauses and missteps when those could actually help the viewer to understand that perfection isn't the goal; communicating the message is the goal!

A bit of an eyeopener on how people can feel, and why it's important as a manager or leader of the meeting to ask questions directly to each person in the meeting, sometimes just to have them participating. It will benefit the outcome, and the general feeling about the meeting afterwards. At least that's my experience.

YES. Christine videos are SO relatable. I had no problem speaking up in in-person meetings but once I got to virtual meetings I get SO nervous to speak. I'm def going to try the fact-story-ask method in my meetings this week. Thank you for this!!

Excellent video - thank you! I work with international professionals and that is one of the top challenges for them, especially since English is not their first language. Your tips are applicable to everyone.

You asked a closed ended question, which takes practice to not do and ask open ones like you recommended instead. Good advice!

I really like your onscreen manner. I would like to mange my facial expressions more, while saying nothing...😁 You come across as really likeable

This is me 2 years ago. I finally got the courage the speak because the leadership changed. But the framework is a great takeaway for me - it's easy to remember and something I'll share with my Virtual Assistant students.

Love this video - super relatable. Here are a couple of other topics I'd be interested in: - leaning on the strengths of others as an introvert - building relationships while remote - creating advancement opportunities for yourself while working remote

Great to see HBR picking up topics which has wider audience appeal and that too free of cost( kinda hard to believe). Host is definitely great in terms engaging the viewer because even though she works at HBR, mortals like me can also related to her so well. I am sure your average view duration would be close to 5 mins. My suggestion for the other topics would be - how to ask for salary raise? - how to say NO to your boss? - how to negotiate salary after you have cracked the interview?

Great advice! And also a reminder to those of us who are meeting leaders to consider who hasn't spoken yet during a meeting and make space for them. It is often awkward to interject on video calls!

Hey Christine, I absolutely loved this video! As you stated, speaking up in meetings might not be the biggest obstacle at work, which brings me to a dilemma I'm currently experiencing at work. There's someone I work with who is a bit of a "know it all", who has an answer for everything and is never wrong. Additionally, this person tends to monopolize conversations and dismiss other's ideas and position her ideas as the best ones, even if afterwards it turns out there was a more efficient or streamlined way of accomplishing something. It's driving me nuts! Help? Lol

Hi Christine, I'm a web developer working remotely from Venezuela, and as a developer we have to communicate with a Team which could be located in the US, Europe, etc. As developers, our biggest problem is...sometimes we don't have a complete information to get the job done, so we have to ask for that information and wait for the response, which could lasts hours or days. All that time waiting for the info is lost and lowers our performance. So the problem might be: How to request key information and get a quick response to stay productive. Thank you

Nothing like prepare yourselves previously for the meeting theme

I struggle with Teams/Zoom meetings when I go on camera and no one else does! I feel like everyone is staring at me. I think video is helpful so you can see non-verbal cues, body language, etc. but not a lot of people at my company (at least in the meetings I'm involved in) go on camera. Do I go on camera anyway and feel awkward, or keep it off?

Hi Sherry, good question. I think it depends on your comfort and your organization's norms. In this time of WFH, many companies may adopt something like the IBM Work From Home Pledge (try Googling it), where it's 100% OK to be present and focused but "not camera-ready." Maybe you can be honest with your coworkers offline in 1-on-1 conversations and say that you miss seeing their faces, and that seeing them in a group meeting may feel like a small gesture but is a highlight for your day. (Assuming that's true!) At the very least you can start a conversation and better understand their comfort or decisions regarding camera use during meetings. Good luck and let us know how it goes! -Christine

Nice piece here. Could still use a lot more tuning and framing. For example, saying what you love is marginal as the "story" component. No attention paid to "Likes" and "sort of" fillers.

Summary: fact, story, ask.

I wish I had a pound for every time you have used the word 'like' out of context! I would be rather well-off today. Nothing makes me turn off more than the bastardisation of the beautiful English language. Have you considered that the overuse of the word potentially shows your lack of confidence as the word is used almost as an apology for your views; you appear not wanting to offend or that you haven't thought out your idea! Not to mention poor command of the English language.
