I'm looking for ways to fix bad timing in meetings. I always have input, but I spend too much time overthinking and working up the courage to say it. By the time I’m ready, the topic has changed and my point is stale. What's helped you speed up your reaction time and just jump into the discussion?

You got it!

You just have to jump in. Don’t let yourself feel like you’re being rude. People will value your input if you have something good to say

For remote meetings the hand up button also works because it’s hard otherwise

Write your note and make sure you interject before the topic transitions. If it creates further discussion you know it was worthwhile.

I'm at an early stage tech start up and gaining experience in an industry that I like. However, I am getting no formal training or sales coaching. Everything I've done so far (Inc.
