So often in the world of entrepreneurship, we hear the phrase..

 

“Speak your truth.”

 

But, what does that really mean?

 

In this week’s episode, we hear from Alexia Vernon who is a sought-after speaking and leadership coach  for those who want to spread their ideas, positively impact people’s lives, grow their businesses, and advance their thought leadership.

 

Alexia shares her journey from being a shy 3rd grader with a headgear, terrified to speak in front of her class..

 

To delivering transformational keynotes and corporate trainings for Fortune 500 companies, college campuses, professional associations, the United Nations..

 

(and she is a TEDxWomen!)

 

Ask yourself the question, “What is the truth I am terrified to admit to myself..”

 

And then consider what might be the long-term, positive impact if you started speaking it to yourself with kindness and compassion..

 

And then speaking it to those in your life who could support you in being able to actually embody that truth in the world..

 

Maybe you have a dream for yourself..

 

For a business..

 

Not living in the city..

 

Whatever it is, you don’t have to make massive changes right now.

 

But if you want to get really clear about your truth’s desire..

 

Speak it to yourself..

 

And then speak it to those champions in your life who can help take your dreams and visions seriously..

 

And not let you off the hook.

 

And remember..

 

If you speak your truth from of a place of compassion..

 

And if you want your truth to move people to take positive action,

 

You need to ask yourself the question..

 

Is what I’m going to say in service of my higher good and in others’ higher good?

 

Powerful stuff, huh? 😉

 

There’s this and MORE in this week’s Joyful Living Podcast, episode 92 with Alexia Vernon

 

P.S. Keep your eye open for Alexia’s new book, Step into Your Moxie, which is set to release in October 2018.
