Have you ever left a meeting or conversation feeling dismissed, ignored, or like your ideas were unheard?
You’re not alone.
Far too many women shrink in moments where they were meant to stand tall. Many talented professionals struggle to truly make their voice resonate, leaving their best ideas on the table.
Whether in boardrooms, family dynamics, ministry meetings, or business pitches—your voice gets overlooked, dismissed, or second-guessed.
But here’s the truth:
Your voice was never meant to compete. It was meant to carry weight.
Maybe you’ve walked away from meetings thinking,
“Why didn’t I just say what I really meant?”
You had the insight.
You had the experience.
But somewhere between your gut and your mouth… you paused.
🎥 Watch: Why I Built This Talk
In this short video, Karlene shares the moment she chose silence and the deep revelation that followed. It’s not just her story. It’s ours.
Maybe you stayed silent because you weren’t sure how to say it without fear.
Or maybe you knew exactly what to say.
And you also knew:
That the room wasn’t ready.
That your voice would cause a shift they weren’t equipped to handle.
That silence, in that moment, was wisdom.
But here’s the truth:
When wisdom becomes a habit of retreat,
When silence becomes your norm instead of your strategy...
Your leadership begins to shrink with it.
Not because you lack conviction,
But because the systems around you haven’t made space for your full sound.
💸 The Cost of That Silence
Let’s be clear:
-
The cost of that pause isn’t only emotional, it’s professional.
-
It’s the promotion that passed you over.
-
The project you weren’t invited to.
-
It’s the leadership pipeline that loses brilliant women every single day, costing organizations up to $250K per lost leader, and
It’s costing women their influence, income, and impact.
And that’s what this conversation is about.
