We’ve all been in a conversation where someone has something to say but can’t seem to find an opportunity to say it.
Sometimes the loudest person gets the most attention, while someone with a valuable perspective stays quiet.
Making room for someone else doesn’t require a big gesture.
It might mean asking someone what they think, inviting them into a conversation, or simply not interrupting when they’re trying to explain something.
People don’t always need us to speak for them. Sometimes they just need an opportunity to speak for themselves.
The next time you’re in a group, notice who hasn’t been heard.
The Simplifier’s Take: Making room for others gives their ideas an opportunity to be heard.
You don’t always have to be the one speaking. Sometimes the most valuable thing you can do is make room for someone else to be heard.
