Can you lose your own voice while still talking every day?

Yes. And it happens more than you think.

The same manager I have been coaching—the one who found her bridge to a better future—shared another part of her story with me.

Three years long.

Every answer questioned. 

Every single decision challenged. 

Every idea second-guessed by her boss. 

She learned to stay quiet in meetings, speak only when spoken to.

And she always have three backup plans ready. Imagine the work she put in.

When she finally changed her environment, she told me: "I realized I hadn't shared an original thought in months. I was just echoing what I thought they wanted to hear."

⇉ Toxic environments don't just silence your voice-theym ake you forget wwhat it sounds like.

Honestly, it wasn't easy seeing her even during coaching doubting herself: "But what do you think? Am I wrong?"

The turning point came in a coaching session when she caught herself mid-sentence: "I was about to ask if my idea was stupid. But you know what? It's not. It's actually pretty smart."

After months of rebuilding, she's not just speaking up—she's helping others find their voices too. She asks her team what they think before sharing her own ideas. She creates space for different opinions. She actually listens. Wow for that.

What changed? 

↳ Someone who shares ideas without asking permission first 

↳ A manager who values her team's input as much as her own 

↳ A person who remembers that her perspective has value

Do you use your voice?
