Speak Up, Speak Out
Make yourself heard.
When women we admire such as Ruth Bader Ginsburg advised, "Speak the truth, even if your voice shakes" and Vice President Kamala Harris has to remind a room full of men, "I'm speaking," it can feel as though having our own voices heard at work is a lost cause. Whether we're confronting a colleague about an inappropriate comment or trying to avoid being talked over (again!) by a male colleague, we can find ways to have our voices heard at work.
Speak Up, Speak Out helps readers use their voices more effectively to raise issues large and small. From addressing sexual harassment to handling microagressions to breaking through subconscious gendered conversational patterns, you'll find research, advice, and practical tips to help you move forward.
This book will inspire you to:
Prepare for the most common scenarios you'll encounter
Address and redirect an inappropriate conversation
Step in when you witness questionable behavior
Break ingrained conversational habits like apologizing and complimenting
Deal with interrupters and overspeakers
Know when to engage—and how to respond

Interesting book on making yourself heard. It teaches how to address issues and conversations with topics big and small and not being talked over by a colleague. There are different situations where it is tough to select words to come over certain topics or attitude. This book provides tips, wording and practical advice.

Great to listen to audio book like a podcast. Includes practical advice for speaking up in workplace scenarios. Favorite quote: remember “it’s not about you, it’s about the idea.”
