What's really going on? Elaine Lin Hering #73","description":"Episode 73:  Unlearning Silence with Dr. Elaine Lin Hering   Have you ever received the feedback to \u201cspeak up\u201d at work? Say more in meetings. Turn up the volume. It sounds so easy but speaking up isn\u2019t always that straightforward \u2013 or welcomed. Today\u2019s guest is Elaine Lin Hering, author of Unlearning Silence: How to speak your mind, unleash talent and lead with courage. She\u2019s been a lecturer at Harvard Law School, and a Managing Partner at a global leadership development firm. Elaine\u2019s clients have included Nike, Google and Pixar. We deep-dive into silence \u2014 how we silence ourselves, how we silence others, and how it\u2019s baked into the system. You\u2019ll learn that there\u2019s often good reason to stay silent in some corporate situations \u2014 politics, power dynamics, challenging individuals. Un-silencing yourself can be especially challenging if you\u2019re not from the dominant culture... This conversation feels like master-class--meets mentoring--meets real life coaching session.  We discuss: A scenario where an executive feels publicly undermined by her boss, and his feedback (when she brings it up) is to increase her confidence and toughen up. A scenario where a senior executive has helped a new colleague and shared her client base, and now he\u2019s getting all the visibility (she doesn\u2019t feel she\u2019s one to speak up and address it). A newly promoted Partner feels like the token woman on the senior leadership team\u2026Have they only promoted me because I\u2019m female?
