At the intersection of psychological safety and personal motivation lies a space where silence can lurk. For many reasons, people are inclined to keep their feelings to themselves at work rather than risk speaking up to address the issues driving the feelings.
In this training call, Cecilia uncovered the reasons we withhold our thoughts and feelings at work and share strategies to build up our “upward voice.” When we feel safe and empowered to communicate and contribute more readily, our mental and physical well-being improves, as well as our ability to affect change and growth in our careers.
