In meetings, quick thinkers often dominate — with sharp comments, confident opinions, and instant reactions. But is being fast really better?
In this short video, I share a story from a coaching session with a client who felt he wasn’t quick enough in meetings. We discovered that his slower, more thoughtful approach was actually a strength — a sign of reasoning, not hesitation.
I also reveal a simple rule I now use in coaching and training:
Will this help my audience?”
If not — don’t say it.
Holding back can feel risky in competitive environments, but over time, thoughtful communication wins trust, clarity, and respect.
What about you?
Do you ever feel pressured to speak faster, or to fill the silence?
