“Our silence isn’t just about us. It’s about the environmental and cultural norms that we collectively build… What are we missing out on that we don’t even realize?”
Elaine Lin Hering is Managing Partner of Triad Consulting Group, a Lecturer at Harvard Law School, and author of the forthcoming book, Unlearning Silence: How to Speak Your Mind, Unleash Talent, and Live More Fully.
In today’s episode, we discuss:
- Pushing the bounds of what good leadership looks like
- The false dichotomy of a zero-sum mindset
- Subversive patterns and how we’ve all learned to stay silent
- Leadership impact
- How (and why) to break free/actually use our voices
“If we have one life to live, let’s live it well – as determined by our own internal metric of what that means.”
