Meetings can be noisy. People rush to share opinions. But if you want to be the one who adds value, learn to wait.
When you speak last, you absorb more. You hear where people agree and where they don’t. You notice what’s been missed. And when you finally speak, you’re not just adding noise — you’re bringing synthesis.
People listen more when they know you’re not speaking to be heard, but to bring clarity.
This small habit — pausing, thinking, then speaking — can quietly increase your impact across every discussion.
The real craft of business analysis lives in the soft skills. The ability to listen deeply. The ability to translate between worlds. The ability to guide decisions not with authority, but with understanding.
So the next time you’re writing a requirement, don’t just think about the feature. Think about the reader. Who are they? What do they care about? What will they miss if you’re not clear?
And the next time you join a meeting, remember — your silence can be more powerful than your words, if you’re using it to understand first and speak with purpose.
