Speaking Up: How to Represent Yourself and Get Your Ideas Heard

• Would you like your ideas to get more recognition?
• Are you a great advocate for others but not as good at meeting your own interests?
• In large groups, do you struggle to get your voice heard?

Speaking up clearly and effectively is a critical leadership skill. Whether leading a team, or navigating an academic career, representing yourself is critical to your success. In this interactive session, the facilitators examined common roadblocks to effective assertion and offered practical tips to help professionals speak up more effectively.
