The loudest person in the room isn’t always the wisest.
In fact, some of the most insightful people you’ll ever meet are the ones who wait, listen, and choose their words carefully. They’re not fighting to be heard, they’re filtering, connecting dots, and adding depth.
We often reward confidence and volume, but wisdom doesn’t always come with a microphone. The quietest person in the room might be the one who’s seeing what everyone else has missed.
Creating space for those voices isn’t about “giving them a turn.” It’s about reshaping how we define contribution, slowing down enough to notice the quiet insights before the meeting ends or the conversation moves on.
True Diversity of Thought includes the thinkers who don’t compete for airtime.
Make room for them. Your team will be better for it.
