About Speak Your Mind Unapologetically Podcast
Good on paper. Good at the job. Still not taken seriously by the people above you? Speak Your Mind Unapologetically is for managers, directors, VPs and senior experts who want their work to count with their boss, senior leaders and peers. It's about managing up and across: disagreeing with someone senior, making your case so it gets acted on, getting credit for your own ideas, asking for the title or scope you've earned, and handling labels like too direct, too quiet or too emotional. If this sounds familiar, you're in the right place: - You know the work deeply, you go into the detail, and you can see you're losing people - You go blank, or say yes too fast, when someone senior challenges you - Someone else presents your idea, and the room goes with them - Leaders say your work is great, and the opportunity still goes to someone else - You've been told you're too direct, too quiet or too emotional Each episode brings real workplace stories, the exact words to use, and conversations with executives and researchers. 460+ episodes, hosted by Ivna Curi: TEDx speaker, Forbes contributor and author of Unapologetic Voice. An engineer by training, analytics corporate background, Ivna has taught these frameworks to more than 8,000 leaders inside organizations including Labcorp, Qualcomm, Synchrony, Akamai, Blue Shield of California and Moët Hennessy.

You Think You Handle Conflict Well. Your Team May Disagree | Lan Phan, Ph.D.
Published 30 Oct 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] Behavioral is one of the parts that can really shape and very quickly change how employees do that. And it was very important great to see that yeah like people who work with leaders who do these things enjoy the work better are less likely to want to quit and feel like they're more effective have better relationship with their supervisor and manager and leader and this all these really wonderful things that come from being able to have a safe, psychologically safe environment to make mistakes and to work together and to grow together. And as you've said, that's a goal for a lot of us and a lot of leaders too, because I know most leaders, especially those who listen to this podcast, truly want to care and truly want to invest in their people.
