Balancing what you choose to say

Knowing the expectation, and delivering just that. While being in control

More succinctly:

  • Know your audience. Saying things they are unable to hear is a waste of energy.
  • Choose your battles carefully.

The flip side:

  • Trust your gut
  • Speak authentically and with an aim to help (not convince)
  • Don’t be overly invested or dependent on the actions and reactions of others (can be hard to do if someone has power over you)
