This thought was inspired by a recent conversation I had with the Mothas.
In many corporate discussions, topics come up that we understand well. We have done the work. We have the experience. We have formed views based on exposure and results.
Yet, we often stay quiet.
This is not always because we don’t know enough. Sometimes it’s because we want to be humble. We don’t want to seem dominant.
But humility is not silence.
Your contribution should also reflect your competence. Long story short, please shine when an opportunity presents itself.
Silence is not always a sign of wisdom. Sometimes, it simply means value is left unspoken.
