Everyone wants to be successful. People have different ideas about the kind of success they want, but ultimately success is the goal. In the workplace, there are all kinds of opportunities to be successful but many times, they simply pass by people who are perfectly capable of taking them on. Are you one of those people? If so, then now is the time to speak up and be heard!

Speaking up is harder than some people might think. Putting a voice to desires and dreams or vocalizing a commitment to a challenge makes people feel vulnerable. They don't believe that they can do it. The shelter of a quiet life without change may be okay for some, but if you aren't one of those people you need to start working on ways to speak up and be heard.
