Ever felt like your voice doesn’t matter in the room?
‘The woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best’ Henry Van Dyke
This quote challenges every senior leader who has ever held back in a crucial moment.
Whether you are:
· Leading from the boardroom
· Driving strategic initiatives
· Building high-performing teams
· Navigating a career transition
Think about it:
· How many strategic insights go unshared?
· How many innovative solutions never surface?
· How many valuable perspectives remain silent?
Because someone else might express it ‘better’
Leadership truth: Your organisation needs your unique voice
Not because it’s the most senior
Not because it’s the most polished
But because it brings a perspective no one else can.
3 𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐲 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤:
1️⃣ Share that different perspective you have been holding back
2️⃣ Champion an unconventional approach to a challenge

The best teams aren’t echo chambers
They are symphonies of different voices
