I wonder where you are from, I for one really recognize this. N=1 but my native speaking colleague indeed dominates meetings. Of course personality is also a factor, but she also talks at incredible speeds in fancy ways that are almost hypnotic. It has made her our fall back when talking needs to be done. But in fact I sometimes feel that I should have conveyed a message myself because she gets the point I wanted to make slightly wrong in worrying ways. On a different note, we always jokingly use Dutch saying in English: * Stop stabbing the dragon with me! * Ah there comes the monkey out of the sleeve! Ah, well, the more cultures, the merrier!
