Permission to speak

June 30, 2006

Last week, Matt Shepherd shared the idea of permission to speak. We looked at several dimensions – permission from God and permission from those to whom we are speaking.

This idea of permission to speak isn’t radical, but it’s something we must be mindful of. We’re operating in a new social and cultural context where permission isn’t as freely given as it once was. Just because you’re in a place of authority (whatever that might look like) doesn’t mean that you’re automatically granted permission to speak your mind.

We all have a message, whether we represent an organization or ourselves. We must be mindful of our audience and make sure we have permission before we start sharing that message.

See you tomorrow!
