Why women's language can undermine impact

I’ve got another episode where I am a guest for you, this time I’m talking about how to get your voice heard at work with Aoife O’Brien on her Happier at Work podcast. 

 

One of the key issues we discussed was the challenge of being interrupted in meetings, particularly for women. I provide strategies for managing interruptions and finding opportunities to speak up, including utilising allies and the powerful strategy of amplification. 

 

In this episode you’ll hear more about… 

• The impact of gender bias on confidence. 

• Strategies for managing interruptions and finding opportunities to speak up. 

• The importance of integrating body language tools and my "Cloak of Authority" to feel more in control in challenging situations. 

• The significance of delivering feedback upwards in a diplomatic and solution-focused manner. 

• The importance of body language and ending contributions with confidence.
