This isn't theory. It's practice for the moments that define how this chapter of your life unfolds.

Every head nods in agreement and your hand stays down. You see the flaw nobody's naming — or nobody wants to name. The cost of silence is complicity. The cost of speaking is being labeled 'difficult' in a room where reputation is currency.
