Does your team need to foster a culture where everyone feels empowered to speak up?

Led by a Harvard Law School instructor, this experience, inspired by Elaine Lin Hering’s book Unlearning Silence, aims to enhance communication and collaboration by identifying and overcoming barriers to open dialogue. During this interactive session, you’ll explore how silence affects your leadership and teamwork, engage in activities that reveal how we silence ourselves and others, and practice designing communication flows that amplify every voice. You’ll participate in breakout sessions and exercises, enabling you to apply these concepts directly to your team’s dynamics.

You will leave with practical tools to encourage transparency and inclusiveness, along with new perspectives on fostering a speak-up culture, revitalizing your team’s connection and effectiveness.
