518: How to Speak Your Mind, Unleash Talent, and Live More Fully with Elaine Lin Hering Read to Lead Podcast

    • Management

If there’s a topic not talked about all that much, it’s the topic of silence. The kind that says why speak up if you know that it won’t be received well and often makes things worse?













Today’s guest, Elaine Lin Hering, explores how we’ve learned to be silent, how we’ve benefited from silence, how we’ve silenced other people—and how we might choose another way.







She teaches ways to recognize and unlearn unconscious patterns so we can make more intentional choices about how we want to show up. Only by unlearning silence can we more fully unleash talent, speak our minds, and be more complete versions of ourselves…and help other people do the same.







Elaine’s new book releases next week on March 19 and you can pre-order it right now. It’s called Unlearning Silence: How to Speak Your Mind, Unleash Talent, and Live More Fully.

In today’s episode, I ask Elaine about:









* How peer pressure and our valuing sameness over uniqueness play a role in how we silence ourselves







* Some of the ways that we, often unintentionally, we silence others







* What she means when she says that unlearning silence isn’t always about speaking up







* And lots more!
