Connson Locke is a Professional Lecturer in Management at the London School of Economics, an author of a new book "Making Your Voice Heard". She is a psychologist, author, and speaker with over 25 years’ experience working in nearly 20 countries across Europe and Asia Pacific as well as the United States and Australia. her work focuses on power and influence, culture, gender, and organizational change.

In my conversation with Connson you will gain a better understanding on:

• How to build influence with the individual to get the directed outcome;
• How to speak up in the workplace to aid you in moving up the ladder or how to assert yourself as a woman in a way that gains the confidence of those around you; and
• How to build resilience even if it isn’t in your DNA – and what is resilience?

This is one that’s relevant for anyone at any point in their professional trajectory looking to improve as a leader.

We also get philosophical – understanding how to maintain the authentic self – Connson’s journey is very unique, she grew up in different places, an introvert trying to understand the world around her and was influenced by her mother’s passion to read. What’s even bigger she tells us the meaning of life.
