Episode 234: Asserting Your Power in Meetings
Even at the highest levels in companies large and small, many otherwise strong and bold women struggle in meetings. Many say their voices are drowned out; others say they are ignored or overlooked, and others can’t find a way into the conversation at all. And, in this new era of virtual meetings, the problem has become harder to manage.
In this episode, Monica shares women’s stories and experiences in meetings, what the research by Harvard Business Review shows, and how to assert your power in meetings.
Highlights:
[00:34] Women’s experience in meetings
[02:25] What the research shows
[04:25] How to assert your power in meetings
[08:00] Using muscular language
[12:38] Practice and prepare in advance
Quotes:
“It’s less about what we say and more of how we say it.” – Monica Marquez
“You can learn to take your power back. You must practice, test, and learn.” – Monica Marquez
