Speak Up!

🤔 How do you ensure your voice is heard?


Sometimes you just have to speak up and say what you think is right - even though you might be a lone voice in the wilderness. Your personal values and integrity demand that you share your voice, and staying silent is not an option.


These occasions can be stressful. You may be the only one with this view, or you may be representing an under-represented group. You may be fearful of being judged, or upsetting the status-quo.


Yesterday, I found myself in this situation. I needed to express my concerns and views, which seemed in opposition to the majority. However, I was surprised. My comments seemed to open the doorway for others to also share their concerns.


Ultimately, not sharing a strongly held view and staying silent is very stressful. So whether you are a lone voice or not, I invite you to speak your truth. You will feel so much better for it.


🤔 Have you ever experienced a struggle in speaking up?
