About this listen
Why are some people more influential than others? What is it that makes people sit up and take notice?
Making Your Voice Heard is a fresh take on how to successfully influence others, regardless of your gender or background.
Drawing on the latest research in social psychology, Dr Connson Chou Locke will look at why we are prone to miscommunicate and how to overcome these barriers. This practical guide, based on her hugely popular Guardian Masterclass, will help you hone your personal style and enhance your presence and influence with ease.
Discover:
- The latest insights on influencing people who have more power than you.
- Gender in the workplace: how to sidestep unconscious bias.
- Energy and body cues: what does your body communicate about you?
- Tips on how to make an impact and be seen as a leader.
- How to make a strong first impression.
- Practical exercises to help you communicate with confidence.
Connson Chou Locke is professorial lecturer in management at the London School of Economics and Political Science, where she teaches leadership, organisational behaviour and negotiation. Connson Locke holds a PhD and MSc in business administration, with a speciality in organisational behaviour, from the University of California at Berkeley and a BA in sociology from Harvard University. Her highly popular Guardian Masterclass 'Developing your presence, power and influence' regularly sells out. Her clients include Harvard Medical School, Orange Group, KPMG and the United Nations System Staff College.

Story
From working as clerks and secretaries in the 1950s, women today are now holding top positions in the world’s largest corporations. Yet women remain vastly underrepresented in leadership roles, making up only 5 percent of Fortune 500 CEOs and 10 percent of top management positions in S&P 1500 companies, despite accounting for 47 percent of the labor workforce. The reason for this has nothing to do with intelligence, skills, or personality. Biases, gender expectations, and discrimination are definitely major contributing factors.

While transitions offer a chance to start fresh and make needed changes in an organization, they also place leaders in a position of acute vulnerability.

But recent science shows that to achieve durable success, we need to be more than just achievers; we need to be compassionate achievers. New research in biology, neuroscience, and economics has found that compassion - recognizing a problem or caring about another's pain and making a commitment to help - not only improves others' lives; it can transform our own.

We may think we have to keep these realities under wraps and act as if we “have it all together”. But as Mike Robbins explains, we can work better, lead better, and be more engaged and fulfilled if - instead of trying to hide who we are- we show up fully and authentically.
