I keep getting feedback that I need to speak up more. I’m pretty introverted and feel that I speak in meetings when it’s necessary, but this is the main thing that is brought up as a development area for me so I am trying work on it. Has anyone else gotten this feedback in the past and can share some strategies that worked for you?

I have received similar feedback but it was coupled with “you share insightful suggestions so it would be great if you could share more in meetings.” When someone says something you agree with, speak up to say, “I agree with x.” If someone says something not as insightful, say something like, “that’s an interesting point. I have to think about that for a bit and get back to you.” These will help you speak in meetings a little bit more in the ways people higher up in companies are expected to. Hopefully they won’t feel as draining.

Many companies have these strict policies about what you can and cannot post on social media, which is fine and all, but the second you try to address a concern or highlight something in your workplace that could be improved, they will come down on you like the hammer of Thor.
