Episode 26: Seen but not heard

Speakers: Lila Vialat, Ian Rodwell and Professor Connson Locke

What does it really take to speak up and be heard at work? In this episode, we talk to Professor Connson Locke of the London School of Economics, psychologist, speaker and author of ‘Making Your Voice Heard’, about why influence is about far more than having the best idea in the room. From power dynamics and credibility to imposter phenomenon, gender stereotypes and cultural difference, this conversation explores the often invisible forces that shape who gets heard and why. Brought to life through stories, examples, and formidable research, it is an insightful episode about confidence, curiosity and learning how to adapt your approach so your message lands.
