5 reasons to speak up at work

Did you know that, on average, employees spend more than two weeks ruminating about moments when they didn’t speak up?

But as much as we may want to share our opinions, ideas and suggestions, doing so can be highly uncomfortable - especially when we're new to a role or organization, feel we lack subject matter expertise, or are more introverted in nature.

Here are 5 reasons to speak up at work, even when it feels uncomfortable:

✅ No one has your unique combination of experiences, knowledge and beliefs
✅ Beyond its inherent value, your perspective may spark other valuable ideas
✅ Speaking your mind encourages others to voice their opinions
✅ Speaking up demonstrates commitment to the outcome
✅ The more you practice, the easier it gets!
