It’s time to talk about the word-to-wisdom ratio, says Dr Kirstin Ferguson.
In meetings, I don’t know how to contribute or what the “right” thing to say is. I fixate on thinking about what to say and lose focus, which is probably why I feel like I have nothing to add. I look around at other colleagues who effortlessly contribute outstanding insights and wish I could do that too. But I have no idea how to start.
I coined something I call the “word-to-wisdom ratio” more than a decade ago, when I noticed I was the opposite of you – speaking up in meetings but not feeling I was adding much value. By contrast, I noticed some of my more experienced colleagues barely said anything at all, but every word they did say was gold. Basically, I felt it was taking me many words to add any wisdom and yet for them, it was very few.
