This motivational book opens by discussing how women often face “You should say something” moments but don’t end up speaking out because of fear. The author emphasizes that the goal is not to have the loudest voice but the clearest. A woman’s voice, she insists, can create a “ripple” that extends to fellow teammates or members of an organization, and beyond. Sickels insists that speaking up isn’t only about “big moments” but rather “infinite” opportunities to share an idea, express appreciation, or invite someone else into the conversation. The book breaks down seven “silencers,” or reasons women don’t speak up, from job-loss anxiety to male-dominated conversations. The book’s VOICE framework focuses on how values, outcome, identity, consistency, and energy influence effective speaking. “Feeling, Action, Transformation” is an action plan for identifying how you want people to feel, what you want them to do, and what transformation would look like after you have spoken. The author recommends sharing stories “thoughtfully and intentionally” to build rapport with colleagues. The book explains how leaders’ “ABCs” (or Assumptions, Body Language, and Choices) influence the energy they bring into a room. The book concludes with the reminder that “when you know your values, you know what to say. Say it today.” Sickels builds a compelling case throughout the book for why it’s so important for women to make their voices heard. The book reassures women that “speaking effectively is a skill” that can be learned with practice. A comprehensive “Cost Versus Benefit of Speaking Up” matrix provides guidance on when to step into the “Courage Zone” or the “Strategic Zone.” The book also offers examples of the “Silenced” and “Unsilenced” mentalities, like shifting from “Hearing no is so embarrassing and awkward” to “After sharing, I’ll invite my colleagues to chime in with their questions, concerns, and suggestions.” However, the inclusion of too many anecdotes fails to further the author’s argument; they seem to unnecessarily pad the page count.
