Speak Up in Meetings

Your stand-up update

You will meet with your coach to learn how to filter your daily work into three clear points: what is finished, what is next, and what is stuck. You will practice highlighting only the details that impact your teammates and finding your stopping point.

Getting your idea heard

You will work with a coach to learn how to spot natural breaks in a busy meeting conversation. You will also practice writing a clear, one-sentence summary of an idea from your own daily work.

Disagreeing politely

You will meet with your coach to explore how to challenge a senior colleague's proposal without sounding confrontational. You will practice framing your feedback around the project's goals rather than the person who suggested it.

Presenting your work

You will work with your coach to outline a real project update of your choice. You will plan how to share the final result first and design simple visual notes instead of a word-for-word script.

Asking for what you need

You will work with a coach to identify a real situation of your own where you need more time or support. You will practice structuring your core message so you can state your limits and resource needs clearly.
