Techniques for Inserting Ideas in a Conversation or Meeting

To effectively insert your ideas into a conversation or meeting, there are three top tools you can use. The first tool is paraphrasing, where you interject with a paraphrase of something someone else has said, capturing the main point. This allows for a polite way to contribute to the discussion. Another tool is asking a question, either in a concerned or direct manner, as the person is speaking. The final tool is starting with emotion, expressing how a certain point or topic makes you feel. Using paraphrasing, asking questions, or stating emotions can help you gain the opportunity to contribute in various communication situations, whether in person or virtually.
