You may have encountered people in the workplace speaking their truth
But what’s the difference between a person speaking THEIR truth and a person speaking THE truth
Get your pen and paper ready because we’re talking about The Big Inclusion Issue: Your Truth Vs. The Truth
This is the second in a two-part series about the truth.
In today’s show we discuss several things including:
- Why we have a distorted perspective of reality
- Why we should be careful about the “truth”
- Why reality is negotiable and much more
Here’s some of what we discuss on the show:
The truth is more subjective than you think
“This makes it sound as if the truth is independent and accessible. It would be really convenient if this was true but if you’re interested in promoting inclusion you should know how much of this is inconvenient.”
Your truth is used to give voice to those who lack it
“people who want to speak their truth are often marginalised, they don’t get the chance to talk, to be seen, to be heard, to be acknowledged”
Not everyone gets the chance to tell any version of any truth
“Some people seem to matter more than others. But why? Why would someone even want to speak their truth, what would you have to believe to use that term?”
