Make Room For The Expert

In the interest of practicing what I preach, I said something out loud this week that I'd never said out loud before. On a call with a business partner in Portugal, I shared a truth that I'd never shared outside of my head or my journals with anyone. As I said it out loud, not only did it sound better than how I'd processed it in my head or written in my journals, but it was said with force and a confidence I didn't truly know I had around what I was saying.

If I'd said it that way in a Pentecostal Church, I'd gotten more than a few Amens and Hallelujahs.

When I finished the call, I thought to myself, "Why did I just share that with him? Why was he the first person to ever hear me say that truth out loud?"
