Having a seat at the table doesn't mean that your voice gets heard. Knowing something is wrong doesn't make it easy to speak up. But this silencing - intentional or not - has profound consequences on our work and life. It blocks talent, skews decisions and causes teams and individuals to fail. So what if there was another way?
Drawing on her experience as a lecturer at Harvard Law School and as a Managing Partner at one of the world's leading leadership development companies, Elaine Lin Hering delves into the roots of silence, examining the patterns that keep us trapped, and showcases the impact that rewiring unconscious behaviours can have on innovation, creativity and collaboration.
From the boardroom to the classroom, from personal relationships to wider communities, Hering shows us how we can have more authentic conversations, foster inclusive spaces and amplify all voices. Because only by unlearning silence can we fully unleash talent, speak our minds, and be more complete versions of ourselves... and help other people do the same.
Humans are funny things - on the one hand, many of us like to stand out from the crowd, be a little different, and showcase our uniqueness - either by means of a funky hair colour, a retro-looking watch or an old Tamagotchi clipped to our backpack.
On the other hand, most people you speak to will all be in agreement when it comes to which items of clothing you simply have to have. Some might say 'Babes, if you want to make a statement, it's a decent jacket you need.'
Others may chime in with 'Sure, but if you want to make that statement stand out, you can't go wrong with a nice pair of jeans.'
We don't disagree with any of the above, Tamagotchi included. But, if you really want to make a statement that stands out and will be remembered - then check out our deal on Caterpillar unisex boots.
