Speaking up and sharing what’s on your mind, putting your opinion forward or contributing your ideas is a moment of vulnerability and often requires courage. However, getting your words out is just one part of the communication puzzle. The other is speaking to be heard. When you find the courage to share what’s on your mind, to speak up in meetings or to present your thoughts and ideas, it’s important that you are heard.
