Unlearning Silence
Collaboration, innovation, and well-being require people to share their thoughts.
But some people still don’t. Why is that?
Individuals, organizations, and cultures have learned and been rewarded for silence.
So, how do we unlearn the silence that undercuts our careers and communities?
Unlearning silence needs to happen at the individual, leader, and culture levels.
Who This Is For

Elaine was able to balance two important factors throughout the training.
On the one hand, she could offer vulnerability and her own demonstrative stories/examples, which made her relatable. On the other hand, she came across as very expert and knowledgeable about the subject matter, which established trust with the audience right away.
