Overview of the webinar

Speaking up at work seems simple in concept, however it can actually be deceptively complicated. When to speak up? How to speak up? Will I tarnish my reputation? Make someone upset? Get fired?! Here is a good indicator that your knowledge and perspective is important. 1. You were invited to be present whether it was a formal meeting or impromptu. 2. You have a unique perspective based on the work you do and the experience you gathered that is critical to the success of the company. 

Voicing your thoughts,  opinions, and expertise can be nerve-wracking, and it’s easy to convince yourself that what you say needs to be perfect to be valuable. However, take a deep breath and remind yourself that stating your ideas is incredibly worth it — for you, your team, for your manager, and for your organization as a whole. According to research from Randstad US nearly all of the bosses they surveyed stated that they value the thoughts and ideas of their employees. Even more impressive? A whopping 73% of management believe their companies would be more successful if they listened to more employee feedback. So, you have everybody else’s vote of confidence that your ideas are worth hearing — now it’s up to you to actually share them.
