Sit Down, Shut Up: The Hidden Bias Women Face at Work What happens when women are interrupted, dismissed, labeled as “too loud,” or told they are “too much?” Companies lose innovation. Communities lose leadership. The world loses progress. In this powerful TEDx Talk, Kelly Cochran, bestselling author of LOUD: Silence Your Critics & Turn Up the Volume on Your Life, exposes the cultural conditioning that keeps women quiet in meetings, in boardrooms, and in leadership roles. Drawing from her viral “Sit Down, Shut Up” story, gender equity research, and real workplace data, Kelly explains why women are punished for speaking up, why men interrupt women twice as often, and why companies that silence women lose out on creativity, performance, and 50% of their best ideas. Kelly Cochran is a TEDx speaker, bestselling author of LOUD: Silence Your Critics & Turn Up the Volume on Your Life, and a globally recognized voice on women’s leadership, gender equity, and the power of speaking up. A former product leader who was fired for being too outpoken, Kelly transformed her story into a movement that now reaches millions every month. Through Loud Blonde™, her fast-growing platform, she teaches women how to own their voices, build powerful personal brands, and lead with unapologetic confidence. Kelly also partners with corporations and global teams to create inclusive cultures where women feel safe speaking up, and where men are equipped, supported, and encouraged to meet them as equals. Her LOUD Method is used by leaders around the world to improve communication, collaboration, and innovation across gender and cultural lines. Kelly’s work has been featured on stages from Microsoft to GoBundance Women, and her signature message continues to spark conversations in boardrooms, classrooms, and communities worldwide. She is loud, she is direct, and she is here to make sure no woman ever shrinks to fit a room again. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
