Overcoming the Fear of Speaking Up to Senior Leaders

About the course

When a risk depends on a senior executive’s decision, an employee may hesitate to speak up even though they have the right information. This course helps employees understand the sources of fear in front of authority and prepare their message around purpose, data, impact and a recommendation. Employees can consider options such as choosing the right time and channel, presenting their view calmly, staying open to questions and focusing on the issue rather than the person. Leaders, in turn, can make it easier for critical information to reach decision-makers by creating an environment where objections are not punished.

Who this course is for

All white-collar employees who have to prioritize under a heavy workload, especially teams involved in several projects at once and manager candidates. No prerequisites; it can be opened to everyone in the organization.

Why it matters

Most productivity loss comes not from a lack of skills but from constantly divided attention. In organizations where heavy meeting loads, instant messaging and unclear priorities come together, an employee’s real focus time drops to just a few hours a day. These topics are used to build a shared language for how work gets done across the organization.

How many users can it be licensed for?

Licensing depends on the number of users and the term. Tell us what you need and we’ll put together the right package.

Are these courses only for individuals, or do they also work at the team level?

Both. They can be assigned individually, but they have the greatest impact when assigned to the whole team at the same time, because topics such as priorities and meeting discipline only stick once they become shared rules.
