Deep dives

Speaking with Authority

One key aspect of speaking with authority is to ask for permission and create an agreement or contract with the listener. By asking if they have a few minutes to listen and receiving their commitment, you establish a level of respect and obligation to be heard. Another strategy is to ask for permission in a group setting, seeking agreement from everyone before sharing your thoughts. This ensures that you have a channel of communication that has been explicitly opened. However, it's essential to balance honesty with love and empathy. While honesty is important, it should be tempered with kindness and consideration for the other person's feelings. This means recognizing the difference between opinions and facts, and being mindful of what is necessary to say and what can be kept to oneself.
