Ever sat in a meeting thinking of the perfect thing to say... only to stay completely silent? This episode is your ultimate guide to finding your voice at work, featuring communication queen Dr Kate Mason (trust us, she's actually changed lives at places like Netflix and Uber).

Join Em Vernem as she learns from Biz career coaches Michelle Battersby and Soph Hirst how to stop apologising for existing in meetings (we've all done it) and why asking questions actually makes you look smarter, not dumber.

Plus Dr Kate Mason will give you 8 ready-to-use phrases that'll make you sound like a meeting pro. Kate's book's 'Powerfully Likeable: How to Communicate with Influence and Show up as Your Best Self' is out in September. Sign up to her newsletter to be one of the first to get it.
