Hear My Voice

Have you ever sat in a meeting and listened to someone edging towards a disastrous idea, and done nothing to stop it?
Maybe you felt shy, or too junior to speak up, despite the fact that you knew you were in the right.
We’ve all done it.
But speaking up is part of our job.
If you’ve been invited to a meeting or a brainstorm, you’re there for a reason, not just to warm a seat.
So if you can see a mistake being made, or something being overlooked, make yourself heard.
No-one will think badly of you.
They may even be thinking the same thing but are also too intimidated to pipe up.
So seize your opportunity – tell the crowds that the King isn’t wearing any clothes.
You’ll be glad you did.
