A paradigm-shifting book looking at the pervasive influence of
silence and how we can begin to dismantle it in order to find our
voices at home and at work Having a seat at the table doesn’t
mean that your voice is actually welcome. Knowing something is
wrong doesn't mean it's easy to speak up. In fact, there are
incentives for many of us to stay silent. Why speak up if you know
that it won’t be received well, and in fact, often makes things
worse? In Unlearning Silence, Hering explores how we’ve learned
to be silent, how we’ve benefited from silence, how we’ve
silenced other people—and how we might choose another way. She
teaches how to recognize and unlearn unconscious patterns so we can
make more intentional choices about how we want to show up in at
home and at work. Only by unlearning silence can we more fully
unleash talent, speak our minds, and be more complete versions of
ourselves… and help other people do the same. With compassion,
clarity, and understanding, Hering guides readers through real-life
examples and offers a concrete road map for doing this vital and
challenging work.
Having a seat at the table doesn't mean that your voice gets heard.
Knowing something is wrong doesn't make it easy to speak up. But this
silencing - intentional or not - has profound consequences on our work
and life. It blocks talent, skews decisions and causes teams and
individuals to fail. So what if there was another way?
Drawing on her experience as a lecturer at Harvard Law School and as a
Managing Partner at one of the world's leading leadership development
companies, Elaine Lin Hering delves into the roots of silence,
examining the patterns that keep us trapped, and showcases the impact
that rewiring unconscious behaviours can have on innovation, creativity
and collaboration.
From the boardroom to the classroom, from personal relationships to
wider communities, Hering shows us how we can have more authentic
conversations, foster inclusive spaces and amplify all voices. Because
only by unlearning silence can we fully unleash talent, speak our
minds, and be more complete versions of ourselves... and help other
people do the same.
