How to Lead with a Purposeful Voice!!
“I’m a diamond. You can’t beat me up. I’m rock solid… A diamond has facets and it can lean and glimmer, move backwards and forwards and side to side in order to feel heard.”
Carrie Arnold, of The Willow Group, says this in today’s episode, where she talks to Bernadette about the empowerment women will find when they rediscover their voice in the workplace. You’ll hear words/phrases like “interrogation of work,” “kitchen table,” and “disinvite” — all crucial elements to understanding why women feel silenced and how to manage the symptoms that follow.
Carrie answers the questions – How do women recover from, and manage feeling silenced or sidelined at work? What is the impact of silencing women?
If this phenomenon is new to you, you’re not alone.
Carrie explains some of the ways women are made to feel silenced in the workplace, including microaggressions that are so subtle you may miss them. She’s also sharing how she helps coach women to find their purposeful voice, and important findings when doing research for her book, Silenced and Sidelined.
Bottomline: The world needs more self-aware, evolved leaders, so take a step toward making that change by tuning in and sharing this interview!
