By discussing your project, you can validate your concept and potentially gain valuable feedback, which enhances communication within your organization. Engaging with others fosters an understanding of different perspectives and can lead to networking opportunities that align with your company values. This approach not only aids in developing a career plan but also encourages collaboration and support among team members. Ultimately, discussing your ideas openly can significantly advance your project. According to Blandine Weill, \"any form of discussion is beneficial for advancing a project.\" Don\u2019t miss more tips and insights on effective communication and team management in the full episode.","_video_transcription":"00:14 - What would you say to someone who has an excellent idea, but who is afraid to share it?\n00:19 - It's not always easy to say to yourself, \"Come on, I'm going to do it,I'm going to take the plunge.\" I'm going to pitch my projects, I'm going to pitch my idea,That'll be of interest to someone.\n00:33 - It's easy to say, but doing it is another story.Perhaps one way of looking at it is to say: \"Ultimately,talking about it with someone else is a way to practice.\" To try to test my idea, to try to validate it as well, and if it can work. That's obvious.\n00:50 - But when you talk to people, you realize that they have always, in the end, thought of something similar,have an opinion on this matter, want to share their experiences, or want to help.\n00:59 - And that's exactly how it is.When you tell someone about an idea, you ultimately realize, \"Hey,that's actually a good idea!\" They also know about this subject indirectly and they know people who have a friend or acquaintance who has already done this and wants to introduce me.\n01:13 - And when we finally start talking quite naturally When you tell someone about a project, their main reaction is usually to express their interest or lack thereof. Their initial reaction is important because it helps you understand whether they generally want to help or if they want to participate,to express an opinion, to contribute to this project.\n01:26 - And in fact, you shouldn't think: \"I'll share a list,it's being one step away, having good judgment, it's terrible, it's good,That's not it at all, but rather: \"Hey, is that can anyone help me on my way?\n01:37 - What can they offer me?How will they react to what I'm about to tell them?\" Ultimately, it's training for yourself, to say to yourself: Hey, look,I've already done that.\n01:44 - Just talking about it helps me think, \"I did it!\" I managed to clearly describe it to that kind of profile.\n01:48 - It's like an exercise, really.And then, in the end, you reap lots of benefits and lots of positive things, because talking and verbalize things, ultimately, you learn a lot about the person.you're talking to, even though it has nothing to do with the topic,it still helps us understand better.\n02:03 - Maybe we need to pitch it differently to people who are not experts on the subject.\n02:09 - I believe that any form of discussion is beneficial for advancing a project.\n02:13 - You have to look at it that way and not make a big deal out of it.\n02:17 - Maybe it's a way of saying to yourself, \"It's just an exercise.\" Afterwards, there was the forced networking, the idea of saying to yourself: I have to do this at all costs.that I join a network to talk, to share, to look for work or to move this project forward.\n02:33 - It's something I struggle with and it makes me feel quite uncomfortable because when you feel forced into a question,In an interview, you can quickly feel defensive and not being able to open up and truly engage with the person right in front of you.\n02:49 - So, by trying to discuss things openly and sincerely, without any hidden agenda tends to work better.\n02:57 - There's networking, and then there's networking.Yes, that's right.","_has_trailer":false,"_trailer_vimeo_id":""},"categories":[935,937],"factorial-categories":[],"class_list":["post-167826","factorial_video","type-factorial_video","status-publish","hentry","category-leadership-insights","category-team-growth"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nWhat would you say to someone with a great idea who's afraid to share it? | Factorial<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Do you have a shy team member with brilliant ideas?
