When people monopolize the conversation without adding anything of substance, it’s a sign of insecurity. Don’t be that person. When people ask me how to make their voices heard, the best advice I can give is to have something relevant to say. Are you adding any value? Are you contributing any ideas or thoughts? More important, are you allowing others to speak and share their points of view? Or are you trying to dominate the conversation simply to show everyone how smart you think you are? Sometimes knowing when to shut up is just as important to knowing when to speak up.
