Do you have any tips for practicing this? I feel like I often "take the oxygen out of the room" when I offer suggestions or get talking. Conversely when I bite my tongue (or just unplug my mic) most people don't talk or offer very weak tacit agreement with the last thing that was said.
edit: I wish I had more skill at building coalitions and/or pushing an organization in a direction without saying "we need to do X".
