Part A

__ I’m good at impromptu speaking
__ I usually have ample opportunities to share my thoughts
__ I don’t always have to think about what I have to say before I start saying it
__ When I start to speak in a meeting, I rarely find myself getting interrupted
__ I only need a little bit of information about a topic before I start to form an opinion on it
__ When I share my thoughts in a meeting, people usually listen
__ I think that my ideas are usually valuable contributions to discussion
__ I get to participate in lively debates about the future of our business, products, or people

Part B

__ I often start to speak and then miss my opportunity
__ I word my thought very carefully so I do not strike my coworkers as ‘abrasive’ or ‘aggressive’
__ I regularly get interrupted multiple times in a single meeting
__ When I share an idea, sometimes someone repeats my idea later without mentioning that I said it
__ When I share a thought, I usually get ‘devil’s advocate’ questions that challenge me or ask me to prove it
__ I think there are topics that my personal experiences do not qualify me to publicly opine on
__ Sometimes I watch lively debates, but I don’t feel comfortable or welcome participating in them.
__ I often leave meetings feeling disappointed that I did not have the chance to share my ideas

Part C __ I’m starting to get an idea of what’s not working with meetings

Part D __ I really have no idea why you’re asking me to fill out this checklist
