There’s a quote by Plato that has always stuck with me: “Wise men speak because they have something to say; fools speak because they have to say something.”
It’s a saying that has helped my introverted side find comfort in large group meetings, overshadowed by loud voices that dominate the conversation. Whether I’m running the meeting or just participating, I’ve learned to embrace the quiet. Turns out, listening is the most powerful tool I can contribute.
