You need to speak up! </b></p> <p><b>Episode 228</b></p> <p><b>Guest: Dr. Laura Camacho, communications coach, author, and host of “Speak Up with Laura” podcast</b></p> <p>THIS WEEK’S TOPIC:</p> <p>Tell me if this sounds anything like you: You put your head down and work, work, work.

Or, maybe that big idea that the team decided to pursue was actually yours, but you find you aren’t getting any credit for it. What could you have done differently?
