How to Make Your Voice Heard at Work - EP011


Listen Later

Do you hesitate to share your thoughts at work?

Here’s the thing: No one has a bigger stake in any given meeting than YOU do. No one has paid for VIP seats, and no one’s opinion matters more than yours!

So, what can you do to practice speaking up until it feels natural?

On this episode of Career Confessions, I explore how to make your voice heard at work, explaining why it’s a disservice to your team when you DON’T share your perspective.

I discuss how to handle it when someone speaks over you in a meeting, challenging you to be selfish and let yourself go first every once in a while. 

Listen in to understand why you don’t need an invitation to speak your mind and learn how to ask your boss for opportunities to step up and lead!
