Welcome to Speak Up & Lead. Before you press play on the training, do these three things:

1. Block 60 minutes on your calendar. The training is 30 minutes, but you'll want time before to settle in and time after to fill out the worksheet while it's fresh.

2. Download the worksheet from the next lesson. Open it before you press play. The training builds toward a 30-day Voice Action Plan, and you'll fill it in as you go.

3. Pick your "use my voice" target. Before you start, write down one specific situation — a meeting, a conversation, a post you've been afraid to publish — where you've been holding back. The frameworks you're about to learn are designed to be applied to a real thing in your life, not consumed passively.

When you're ready, head to the next lesson to download the worksheet.
