The best way for Rowena to be a good participant is to **decide what about the topic is meaningful to her, and find a good time to speak up.** This approach allows her to engage with the discussion in a way that feels authentic and relevant to her, while also providing her a chance to contribute meaningfully. By focusing on what resonates with her, she may feel more confident and prepared to share her thoughts, rather than forcing herself to follow a predetermined agenda or simply reacting to others' points.
