#102: 3 Scripts to Save You in Meetings

Ever had your name called in a meeting and your mind just… blanks?

Your heart races, your face feels hot, and by the time you think of what you should have said, it’s already two hours later on the train home.

If that’s familiar, you’re not alone. Freezing in the moment doesn’t mean you’re incompetent. It just means your nervous system is overloaded. And the good news? You can learn subtle ways to handle it.

In this episode, I share three scripts that save you when your mind goes blank in a meeting.

• How to stall with grace (and actually look more composed)
• How to flip the spotlight and lead the conversation
• How to find your way in, even if your answer isn’t “perfect” yet

These are small phrases with a big impact. They shift you from panic to presence, so you can contribute with clarity instead of silence or regret.

And if you want to go deeper, I’ve created Subtle Scripts, a collection of 200+ phrases for the exact moments we overthink, freeze, or hold back at work.
