## Resource

If you've been trying to speak up more in meetings but it's just not happening - this episode will show you why. I'm breaking down the psychology behind why you stay quiet (even when you have something valuable to say) and what actually needs to shift for you to start speaking up with confidence. You'll learn the difference between permission-based speaking and value-based speaking - and why understanding this distinction changes everything about how you show up in meetings. This episode will help you see that forcing yourself to "just talk more" isn't the answer - and I'll show you what IS.
