Here’s a quick tip to sound more confident when talking to managers

And take more control in the conversation

👉 Turn questions into statements

For example, instead of saying;

“Do you think we should run a focus group with the impacted team members?”

Try;

“I’m wondering if we should run a focus group with the impacted team members.”

Subtle right?

But by framing your ideas as a statement rather than asking a question, you assert your perspective and demonstrate confidence in your suggestion.

This way, you’re not surrendering control or positioning them as the decision maker; you’re facilitating a collaborative exchange of ideas.

Plus, it keeps things open and leaves room to pivot if they disagree.
