1 Know Thyself

Before you can assert yourself in a team meeting, it's essential to understand your own communication style. Are you naturally outspoken, or do you tend to hold back? Recognizing your tendencies allows you to adjust your approach. If you're usually quiet, prepare your points in advance. This preparation gives you the confidence to speak up. Conversely, if you're typically vocal, practice active listening. By doing so, you ensure that when you do speak, you are not just heard, but also respected for valuing others' contributions.

Being assertive always starts with listening to others and then repeating back with agreement about what they have said after which then adding “however can I add that it may be beneficial to.…..”

2 Prepare Well

Preparation is key to assertiveness. Before the meeting, take time to outline your thoughts and anticipate possible questions. This will help you articulate your ideas clearly and confidently. Knowing your material well also means you can present your points concisely, which is crucial in a meeting setting where time is often limited. When you're well-prepared, it shows, and it can significantly enhance the way your input is received by your team.

3 Speak Clearly

Clarity and brevity are your allies in a team meeting. Speak in a clear, strong voice and choose your words with care. Avoid jargon unless it's commonly understood by all members of the team. Being concise helps keep the meeting on track and shows that you respect your colleagues' time. When you express yourself clearly and succinctly, you make it easier for others to engage with your ideas.

Say as little as you can as clearly as you can. Compliment others who do the same. Don't hold back on the necessary conversations, but be sure to add courtesy and corresponding confidence.

4 Listen Actively

Active listening is a cornerstone of respectful assertiveness. It involves fully concentrating on the speaker, understanding their message, and responding thoughtfully. When you listen actively, you demonstrate respect for your colleagues' ideas and show that you value their contributions. This builds trust and makes others more receptive to your ideas when it's your turn to speak.

5 Timing Matters

The timing of your contributions can significantly affect how they are perceived. Wait for the right moment to interject, such as when a topic you are knowledgeable about is being discussed. Avoid interrupting others; instead, look for natural pauses or when someone directly asks for input. By choosing the appropriate moment to assert yourself, you ensure that your contributions are both respectful and impactful.

Think about your best dining experiences—when the server showed up right when you needed, or when your meal came exactly when you wanted. That's the art of timing, and it works the same in meetings. Like a skilled server who reads the room and waits for the right moment, follow the flow and you'll shine in the spotlight.

6 Follow Up

After the meeting, follow up on the points you made. If you committed to taking certain actions, make sure to do so promptly. This demonstrates your reliability and commitment to the team's goals. If your ideas were not fully addressed during the meeting, seek out opportunities to discuss them further with key stakeholders. Following up shows that you are invested in the team's success and ensures that your contributions make a lasting impact.
