Get clear, practical answers to the toughest speaking-up questions: recognition, raises, boundaries, timing, and more—so you're heard and respected at work.

You asked. I answered, fast. In this rapid-fire Q&A, we tackle the most common (and most avoided) questions about speaking up without backlash: how to advocate without seeming pushy, what you can reasonably ask for (and how to build a case), what to do when credit goes missing, how to set boundaries and still be seen as a team player, how to advocate when you're not senior, and how to bounce back after a "no." 

You'll leave with practical scripts, mindset shifts, and a repeatable approach to turn hard conversations into "liquid sunshine."

Listen if you want to:

• Be heard and understood, without damaging relationships
• Turn self-advocacy into a daily habit
• Get recognition, resources, and flexibility credibly
