A tiny shift that makes speaking up feel SO much easier...
Try this before your next meeting.
Hey Verbalizer,
Have you ever been in one of those situations where someone asks to "hop on a quick call" out of the blue...
And suddenly your mind starts racing and your your brain immediately goes into overdrive?
Wondering what they want...
If you'll have the right answers...
If you'll sound "professional enough" or present yourself in the right way...
These situations can be awkward at times, right?
Well, one of my amazing clients just shared something that made me want to dance in my chair...
She shared this simple question she recently asked as a response to one of these potentially awkward situations:
"What do you want me to have heard and what do you want me to think of ahead of this meeting?"
And just like that... magic ✨
No more blank brain moments...
No more scrambling for the right words...
No more second-guessing if she was meeting expectations...
And here's what makes this question in particular so powerful:
It's not just about being prepared...
It's about creating a runway for connection...
Setting both people up for a genuine exchange...
Where everyone walks away feeling HEARD 💫
Think about it...
When we lead with intention...
We're not just showing up...
We're showing up with PURPOSE.
And that changes everything:
The energy you bring shifts
Your confidence naturally rises
Your impact becomes intentional
Because now you're not just hoping for the best...
You're creating the space for magic to happen...
This is what I mean when I talk about communication being a gift we give each other...
It's not about perfect words...
Or memorized scripts...
Or trying to sound like someone else...
It's about creating moments where both people can shine ✨
So next time you find yourself in one of these potentially awkward situations…
Instead of allowing your mind to run like a hyper hamster on a wheel…
Ask this tiny but mighty question...
And watch how it transforms the entire conversation.
