Communication Skills

Hi 👋

I am a software engineer with strong one-on-one communication skills. However, I find it challenging to express myself confidently in business meetings or group discussions. At times, I feel awkward or struggle to articulate my thoughts clearly in front of a group. I would appreciate guidance on how to improve my group communication skills — particularly in sharing ideas effectively and engaging in small talk during meetings.

Someone Please guide on this

I would say keep a notepad and pen with you keep taking notes in meeting, and when speaking speak slowly and clearly, dont get loud or rude just normal voice with slow pace. That helped me also.

Taking notes based on current or previous conversations, would really help you to note down the things that you are planning to ask in meeting, otherwise you would lost in discussion forget to ask, btw its business meeting or technical meeting and you wouldn't want to consume unnecessary time in out of scope or non relevant discussion, and honestly nobody has this time to listen. So asking meaningful, presicise yet necessary information related to meeting context is only needed to be asked. So start participating slowly, talk only about meeting topic, ask questions about the same and over the time you will get improved a lot.
