Description
If you ask 5 people for their advice on how women should speak up at work, you're likely to get 5 different answers. That's because, it seems, everyone has something to say about how women communicate at work. We're either too much or too little, too loud or too quiet, too direct or too passive, depending on who you ask. In today's episode, I share the more complex reality underlying all human communication, and why at the end of the day, the most important power women have is to choose how we speak up for ourselves.
