Sometimes it’s not about performance—it’s about team dynamics, leadership styles, or culture that unintentionally (or intentionally) leaves certain voices unheard.
If you’ve ever been in a role where you weren’t looped into updates, missed out on key conversations, or felt like your presence didn’t matter—you're not alone. It can be discouraging, especially when you’re genuinely trying to contribute.
To managers and leaders: the tone you set matters.
When loose talk, gossip, or favoritism is part of leadership behavior, it gives the team permission to do the same. Over time, that chips away at trust, divides teams, and leaves people feeling isolated or overlooked.
Leadership isn’t just about strategy—it’s about responsibility.
Creating a psychologically safe environment starts with you.
To those in leadership: inclusion isn't just about meetings or diversity metrics—it’s about making sure every person feels seen, valued, and respected.
To those experiencing it: your worth isn’t defined by the room you’re left out of. Stay sharp, stay kind to yourself, and keep moving forward—even if it's slowly.
