Meera, a 24-year-old marketing executive, dreaded team meetings. Every time her manager asked for ideas, she froze, thinking, “What if my idea sounds stupid?” One day, after another silent meeting, she felt ashamed and frustrated. “Why can’t I just speak up like everyone else?” Instead of spiraling, Meera decided to unpack her anxiety. She realized her fear wasn’t about having bad ideas—it was about being judged. The next day, she prepared one simple idea before the meeting and reminded herself, “It’s okay to speak up, even if it’s not perfect.” When the moment came, Meera shared her idea. To her surprise, her manager praised her contribution. Over time, she became more confident, and her ideas became a regular part of team discussions. The takeaway? Fear often grows in silence. Start small, prepare in advance, and give yourself permission to try. Confidence is built one step at a time.
