In this episode, Sabahat Naureen shares how she went from keeping silent in difficult situations to speaking up and self-advocating. As an engineer turned leadership coach, she is not shy in talking about how uncomfortable it can be to challenge the status quo. We discuss how to get out of your head when you are holding back, getting more comfortable with conflict, and building your speaking-up muscles in everyday conversations. This conversation has been a game-changer for me - it has inspired me to ask for what I need more often, especially when power dynamics are at play.
