Do you ever stand by silently when you feel you should speak up? If so, your silence hurts.

Many people say they want to speak up when they see others stereotyped, disrespected, or demeaned. But they stand by silently because of discomfort or the fear of saying the wrong thing. They may turn away thinking “who am I to get involved, this isn't my business.”

In fact, as a bystander, you ARE part of the conversation. You are the audience. Your silence allows the disrespectful behavior to continue. Your silence hurts.

Ouch! Your Silence Hurts.... challenges viewers by asking, "How will you personally respond next time you witness somebody being treated with disrespect?"

In the Ouch! video, you'll hear about the role of the silent bystander....

When you hear a disrespectful comment or joke, you have a choice:

Reinforce it by laughing or joining in.
Tolerate it by saying nothing, which is what most people do. Or speak up and become an ally, the hardest thing of all.

You may think that by saying nothing you’re making things better, or at least not making things worse. But sometimes silence is not golden. Your silence sends a message that you agree, or at the least you don’t object. Is that the message you want to send?

When we speak, we are afraid our words will not be heard or welcomed. But when we are silent, we are still afraid. So it is better to speak.

Silence remains, inescapably, a form of speech.

I have one word, Fabulous! This video gives real, gut-wrenching examples of individuals and situations. Most important, it challenges people and gives them the idea that they have the ability to confront stereotypes by showing them how. Ouch! Your Silence Hurts will be so helpful because most people want to do something but don't know what or how.

The voices in the shadows was a stirring image, and the specific examples of what to say were effective. The most powerful piece of learning for me was to establish that it is better to say something that is imperfect, rather than waiting to think about the right words and saying nothing.

It really fills a niche in my training. It provides the practical, "what can I do?" skills. I've reviewed dozens and dozens of videos and OUCH! is so much better than anything else I've seen. Now that I've used it many times with my clients, I've completely internalized the skills and am using them myself as well as training others. Thank you!

The Ouch Video is a great complement to our harassment training since many potential harassment situations involve those "not so obvious" stereotypical comments. As participants watched the video, we could see heads nodding in agreement that stereo-types still exist. Since rolling out the training, employees in all of our facilities across the US are saying "ouch" to speak up against stereotypes.
