An Act of Courage?

We have a tendency to see speaking up as an individual act of courage.

There’s an element of that, of course, but I also see speaking up as relational and social. My research puts a different lens on the subject and will help people develop alternative habits of conversation. It shows leaders what they need to do to create a space where open and constructive dialogue can take place.

The truth framework we’ve developed on the back of the research will help leaders firstly, to understand the key issues that get in the way of people saying what needs to be said.

Secondly, to be aware of the common traps they fall into when speaking up and listening up.

And thirdly, to overcome their blind spots and understand why they’re well-intentioned attempts to get people to speak up often fall flat.
