About

Series 6: Find Your Voice – Confidence, Silence and the Conversations That Matter This series is all about the voice you've been holding back, because confidence was never actually the problem. I'm Nicola Richardson from The People Mentor, and I've spent over 40 years leading teams through change, conflict and everything in between. I know what it costs when people stay quiet, and what changes the moment they don't. In this series, I'm bringing you real stories from my own career and from the people I work with, on why silence at work is rarely about a lack of courage, and almost always about a missing skill. We'll get into what actually stops people speaking up, why confidence follows skill rather than the other way round, and what saying nothing really costs a business and the person carrying it. I'm also joined by guests, real leaders and managers from care, charity and small business, each bringing their own experience of building influence and speaking up without needing a title to back it. If you've ever gone quiet when you had something worth saying, this series will show you why, and what to do about it. Listen now for honest insight and down-to-earth leadership support.
