Show Notes

In this episode, you'll hear a powerful big talk from certified speaker Ivana Ivanek. You may remember Ivana from her appearance on the podcast last July in Episode 683, where we talked about redefining success.

Ivana is a keynote speaker, business strategist, mindset coach, and host of the Online Business By Design Podcast. She specializes in helping teachers, coaches, and educators build online businesses that drive profit and impact so they can create the success and the life they desire.

In her talk, "Modern Social Silencing Isn't Just a Women's Issue," she explores:

How modern social silencing impacts all genders through workplace dynamics, family expectations, and societal pressures

The hidden costs of staying silent, and what is required to break that silence

The importance of creating 'voice-positive' environments and how leaders can actively cultivate them

Why speaking up isn't something to earn or wait for permission to do
