Do you want to speak up more, maybe you’d like to make next year the year your voice is heard? Well knowing your power is the first step to knowing how to stand up for yourself.

Adam Galinsky is a social psychologist that is best known for his extensive knowledge and research about a variety of topics. These topics include: decision making, diversity, ethics, leadership, negotiations, and power. He has published over 200 scientific articles and chapters in the field of management and social psychology as well as received many prestigious awards due to his studies.
In his TED Talk, he shares that there are times that we should speak up and times that we should not. Often we find ourselves unsure of when we actually need to speak up. “And I’ve asked people all over the world about this dilemma of speaking up: when they can assert themselves, when they can push their interests, when they can express an opinion, when they can make an ambitious ask.” Each situation is different!

For example, if you were the boss of a company you could speak up whenever you want. After all, you would have a lot of power and influence! Now, if you had just started at the company you may want to hold back. “And the key thing is that when we have lots of power, our range is very wide. We have a lot of leeway in how to behave. But when we lack power, our range narrows. We have very little leeway.”

Adam Galinsky later goes on to talk about advocating for ourselves. Another incredibly important topic that is a must watch! So are you ready to speak up more?

The Soft Power Revolution

Two or three years ago I attended a one-day Seminar of 'One of Many'.  At that time the organization was just starting out.  Imagine my surprise when I opened an email from Joanna Martin and saw how the organization has grown.

You can now join the Community and attend courses and learn so much.  I am thrilled to be able to pass this information on to women.

Further down the first page, there are some good and some not so good statistics.  That is why we women need to take charge and change things for the better. 

I hope you get value from this information.   Click on the link and get transported into a world that is specially for women.

 The importance of being smart in your job cannot be underestimated.  It has always been said that dress maketh the man.  In these days of casual dressing, people no longer make the effort.  Yet, dressing appropriately conveys self-respect which is so important in a job.  When we respect ourselves, other people will respect us too.

Suffering in Silence

Just learned about a book for women entitled "Surviving Shocking Situations", by Tieshena Davis.  Surviving Shocking Situations helps women who have been through unbelievably hard experiences.

It encourages and builds hope that there is light at the end of the tunnel.  Click the link above and  read more about this.

I hope it goes some way to understand what hardship some women suffer and if you have been in such a situation, take comfort from the fact that no one has to stay there.

With best wishes.
