>I’ve never had the confidence to express it to a group of people, in case I’d look like an idiot. One way until you get the hang of this, is ask questions that lead the person/group to your opinion or suggestion. This will hopefully help your confidence up and get you used to speaking. e.g. Let's assume the task at hand is moving data from mysql to progress. When the meeting organizer asks for feedback: - An extroverted person might blurt out the need to have some sort of reconciliation report that makes sure the data from both systems is the same. - A somewhat introverted (not trying to label you! :)), might think a reconciliation report is needed, but instead ask how can we make sure that the data in the 2 systems are correct to give us the confidence that we aren't making a mistake. At this point some extrovert would blurt something out. Good luck! Practice makes perfect.
