Prepared to Speak at Work: Transforming Corporate Culture with Courageous Communication

The Silent Struggle in Corporate America

Imagine a workplace where ideas flow freely, innovation thrives, and every team member feels valued. Now contrast that with the reality: 85% of employees feel unable to raise concerns with their supervisors (VitalSmarts). This is more than a statistic—it’s a wake-up call.

The High Cost of Silence

When employees stay silent, businesses suffer:

$2 trillion lost annually due to ineffective communication (Axios HQ, 2023).
$420,000 per year for a company with 100 employees (SHRM).
Companies without engaged communication experience 147% lower earnings per share (Gallup).

Can your business afford these losses?
