Book Talk: Unlearning Silence

Our Q2 book comes with an added bonus! Author Elaine Lin Hering will be doing a Book Talk about Book Passage in San Francisco. 

This is an open/non-CLUB event, but your RSVP is appreciated as we can work with Book Passage to reserve a spot for The CLUB.

Unlearning Silence is a paradigm-shifting book looking at the negative impact of silence and how we can begin to dismantle it in order to use our voices at home and at work.

Having a seat at the table doesn’t mean that your voice is actually welcome. Knowing something is wrong doesn’t mean it’s easy to speak up. There are incentives for many of us to stay silent. Why speak up if you know that it won’t be received well, and in fact, often makes things worse?
