Most employees stay silent when it matters most — afraid of backlash, judgment, or losing influence. But the best leaders create cultures where people speak up, collaborate, and perform at their best.

Welcome to The Speak Up Advantage, the podcast for business leaders, HR, and L&D leaders who want to strengthen leadership communication, build courageous teams, and unlock innovation through open dialogue.

Hosted by Ivna Curi — Forbes contributor, TEDx speaker, and founder of the Assertive Way Institute — this show explores how courageous communication transforms organizations.

In this trailer episode, you’ll discover what to expect from the show:

• Real-world conversations with global leaders shaping communication and culture.

• Research-backed frameworks for helping teams speak up with confidence.

• Actionable strategies to navigate hard conversations and lead with influence, even when it feels risky or uncomfortable.

Because performance, innovation, and engagement don’t come from silence. They come from voices empowered to speak up, despite fear.
