Candace Doby, Leadership Communication Expert & Author
Wednesday, April 22nd 2026 at 12:00 PM EDT
In high-stakes conversations, power doesn’t just shape the outcome. It shapes whether you speak at all. When a colleague or leader possesses more influence, formal authority, or decision-making weight, even the most seasoned contributors find themselves "playing it safe"—hesitating, diluting their insights, or opting for silence.

Drawing on a decade of research, Candace Doby delivers her signature "candid-coated" guidance to move you beyond the "just be confident" cliché. Through a blend of strategies and real-world applications, she helps you practice speaking up courageously. You will learn how to navigate power dynamics without losing your voice, ensuring your ideas are heard when they matter most.
