In group settings, men are 75% more likely to speak up than women, under-represented minorities and introverts. And when a woman, minority or introvert does speak up, it's statistically probable that their male counterparts will either interrupt them or speak over them. What does this mean? If you're not ready to fight to be heard through ally-building strategies, your potential could be silenced.

Key Takeaways:

• How to amplify your voice using proven techniques from a global leader
• Message development tactics to strengthen your communication
