Do You Know The Cost Of Silence?
Silence at work costs the global economy $8.8 trillion a year. Employees who feel heard are five times more likely to perform. When your voice is grounded in intention, it doesn’t just join the conversation—it architects the future.

I met Lily at a Corporate Leadership event where she was giving an inspirational talk on her experiences founding and running various startups in the social impact space. What struck me, was Lily's drive and passion for social change and her goal to make the world a better place by helping those less fortunate. The talk left me truly awe inspired and has encouraged me to take a more socially responsible approach to all aspects of my life.

The short course with Amy was a great introduction to many aspects of public speaking, including many different types of media and opportunities for us to speak and use our voices... it was life-changing for me, and that is no exaggeration. I tried to put the things I'd learned into practice at a meeting that same evening.
