About this audiobook

The expectations placed upon you are more than mere bullet points in a job description. You know you should contribute during meetings, but obstacles arise. You lose focus, or get interrupted. You fly off course and start rambling. Perhaps the intimidation factor is so strong, you simply feel you don’t have a voice.

Speak Up, Dammit! is for you if you have a hard time sharing your ideas when:

• You’re challenged or ignored
• You’re the most junior person in the room
• You’re worried your contributions will sound stupid
• You don’t feel prepared
• The stakes are high
• You’re the only one in the room who looks like you

Speak Up, Dammit! provides inspirational stories as well as critical tools, lessons, and exercises that will help you, at any professional level, overcome obstacles and share your voice at work.
