Cubicle Divas: How to Speak Confidently
Without Being Pushy (Part 1 of 2)
By Leesa Barnes
From time to time, I officiate basketball games. Not only do I have to clear my mind of any distractions, but I also have to use my voice a lot after I blow my whistle. Whether I’m calling a foul or a violation, I have to communicate instructions to the players on the floor using a clear and strong voice.
In the workplace, many women suffer from the inability to use their voice effectively. In meetings, on the phone or while speaking to their boss, women in workplace believe that speaking in low tones will garner them respect.
However, this little girl syndrome does more damage than good. Instead of being taken seriously, women are interrupted when they speak or ignored altogether. You can become a Cubicle Diva and command attention in the workplace by following these tips to make yourself sound more confident without being pushy.
1. Reclaim your idea. A complaint I hear often from my clients is that they state an idea, no one comments, then a male colleague will re-state her idea in his own words and everyone will congratulate him for introducing a new concept.
There are many tricks you can use to ensure that proper credit is given back to you. One technique is to use a strong statement, such as “I’m glad that Rob brought up the idea I introduced earlier. Let me elaborate on my thoughts.”
2. Eliminate wimpy words from your vocabulary. Statements that include definite words, such as “can” and “will”, show that you’re confident in your decisions. Avoid using “try”, “should”, “could”, “would”, “maybe”, “think” and other less powerful words as they can dilute your message.
(Please come back and visit this blog again for part 2 of this article.)
