Ever felt sidelined in a meeting, dismissed, or like your ideas don’t get the credit they deserve? In this episode, we’re digging into the all-too-common experience of being talked over, dismissed, or ignored in professional settings. These moments can be frustrating and disheartening and of course, impact our confidence and our willingness to keep contributing and sharing our ideas.

We’ll explore why this happens, the role of unconscious bias, and the toll it can take on you. Through relatable examples, we’ll look at how you can identify these situations and strategies you can use to keep taking - including assertive re-entry techniques to building allies in the room.

I hope this episode equips you with tools to confidently hold your space and be heard, because we need you to stay in the conversation if things are going to change!
