WHEN YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY SPEAKER
You're an expert in your field who's been asked to speak on a panel at a Zoom conference with a number of your peers. You've done your research and prepared carefully. Your bullet points are all in a row. You've even planned ahead for any objections to your conclusions. All systems are go.
You're the next to last speaker, and you're listening carefully to what the other panelists have to say. To your horror, one of the speakers ahead of you has chosen a similar point of view. She’s used some of the same examples and said almost exactly what you were going to say!
