When the group discussion begins, every body start speaking and your view may not be heard but when you are asked to introduce the topic , you can take the situation forward. Explain the topic don’t read what is written. Give a brief introduction to the topic and what you think of it. People think that taking a stand in group might go against them. But you are expected to give your point of view.

Speaking too much and not all are both discouraged .It is more important to give a valid points. If you try to grab the attention of the panelists ,cut other people short ,it shows that you are not a team worker.
Those who become emotional :
There are topics that involves some sensitive issues. You have all the valid points to support that women make better managers , but bringing in the element of argument and accusing others in the group will only help you in getting rejected.

Cutting short somebody who is making a valid point and asking the silent one to speak, can actually cut your points.
