Meeting Domination Without Being Domineering

## CONTEXT
Meetings are where reputations are made and lost in real time. Some people dominate and exhaust the room; others stay silent and get overlooked despite having the best ideas. The sweet spot is contributing with timing, substance, and brevity so you are remembered as insightful. In 2026's mix of in-person and video meetings, where it is easy to disappear or talk over others, deliberate meeting strategy is a visible differentiator. This prompt helps you find your voice without overusing it.
