Expressing What’s True for You
Your Challenge: Do you have a hard time expressing your real feelings on the job because you’re afraid they’re unacceptable? Are you aware of your feelings in the moment, or only after the event is over and the opportunity has passed? Do you express your feelings in roundabout ways, hoping the message will get back to the right people and change will occur?
Immediate Answer: Tune into yourself, and express your feelings verbally in appropriate ways at work. It’s the only way you’ll have any influence on the decisions that affect you. Adopt Nova’s suggested behaviors and see the difference in how you feel and the results you get.
