speak up for myself

Since my last meeting, I had everything prepared and felt good about myself speaking in front of people. But it’s hard to keep up! If I don’t constantly think about speaking up, I go back to the quite me and I feel bad again. Is it only me or everyone? Gotta feel bad to really motivate myself to do the thing that I should do! >”<

I need to remind myself everyday! Speak up for myself!!!

I did more preparation for the meeting I had today. I found out when I know more and understand the topic more, I can speak up a lot more about the issue and my thought. Also, when I didn’t understand an issue or people didn’t interpret my question/thought right, I said it again and made sure people were on the same page.

It made me feel really good. I should keep reminding myself to be more prepared. cheers!

As a Junior developer, I’m always silent in the meeting. Even if I have question or thoughts, I tempt to let it slipped. But I feel bad every time I walk out of a meeting and feel not contribute to the company and myself. This makes me unhappy every time that I feel the need to change it.

I want to be more prepared for the meeting. I want to understand more about the things I’m going to work on. I want to ask more questions if I really don’t understand. I want to speak up more in the meeting. I want other people to see me!

My strategies for starting up this:
1. get more familiar with things
2. ask questions even if they sound stupid or not-so-nice people don’t like to answer it.
3. come up with different scenario in more cases and think how I want to resolve it.
4. think what tasks I want to do in each project and speak up.
5. try to take different tasks each time to grow my experience
6. be flexible, go with the flow.
