Luvvie Ajayi Jones is another true example of standing on #Truth. When you choose to be the rock that causes ripples of change, you are taking a bold step toward creating a better world for yourself and those around you. Embracing change and calling out egregious behavior is a powerful way to stand up for what is right and just. Here are some key points to keep in mind when addressing challenging situations involving unacceptable behavior: Stay true to your values – Remember what you stand for and let your principles guide your actions. Seek support – Surround yourself with people who uplift and encourage you to do the right thing. Get informed – Equip yourself with the knowledge and understanding to articulate your concerns effectively. Pick your battles – While it is important to address egregious behavior, prioritize your efforts on the issues that matter most to you. Lead by example – Be a role model for others by demonstrating integrity and standing up for what is right. Embrace discomfort – Change often comes with discomfort, but it is a necessary part of growth and progress. Staying resilient - Driving change can be challenging, but staying resilient in the face of adversity is crucial to achieving long-term impact.

ON WHY WE NEED DOMINOES l absolutely love this TedEX video in which Ms Ajayi-Jones speaks so earnestly about dominoes In a world where conformity and silence are often rewarded, speaking truth to power requires a rare blend of courage, integrity, wisdom and fire for the common good. The courage to confront the uncomfortable, to question the unquestionable, and to risk it all for the sake of what is right – not just for ourselves, but for the common and therefore greater good. The integrity to remain steadfastly commited to our values, our principles, and our convictions: - even when it is hard, - even when it is unpopular, and - even when it is at a personal financial or other cost Wisdom to know when to speak, how to speak, and to whom to speak. It's the ability to navigate complex webs of power, to read the room, and to tailor our message for maximum impact – always with the common good in mind. To be effective and impactful leaders we will need to establish avenues through which we can be armed with the true state of our organizational affairs in order for them to successfully thrive in these VUCA times, bearing in mind that the higher we get as leaders, without intentionally enabling it, from trusted parties, the truth will elude us if we do not intentionally encourage it, given the tendency for subordinates to tell their bosses what they feel they want to hear. Leaders need to be dominoes and encourage dominoes. #SpeakingTruthToPower #Courage #Integrity #Wisdom #CommonGood #Justice #Leadership #BeTheDomino

One of the best pieces of advise I have received is to be comfortable in the uncomfortable situations.

Standing up for what you think is right with the ability to give reason to defend your judgement.

Speaking your truth into action is my personal goal but if anyone ever felt that silence was the norm. Please listen to the below Ted talk. Pay inequality is a silent issue within the miniority black woman community it’s no wonder we are challenged to acquire so many degrees but to find that our pay is still less than equal to a white male employee. As I welcome speaking up, I am more empowered to implement these three things below: 1. Did I mean what I say? 2. Can I defend my statement? 3. Did you say it with love?

I completely resonate with this. It’s often difficult to be the first, but being the first means that you are the last; blazing a new path for others. Through this be the first - The first to smile, the first to start a conversation, the first to greet, the first to admit a mistake, the first to listen. The first to admit when you are wrong, the first to laugh at yourself, the first to apologize, the first to forgive. But most importantly the first to take that leap of faith.

Improving compassionate communication involves active listening and empathy. Focus on understanding the other person's perspective and emotions. Use open-ended questions to encourage dialogue and show genuine interest in their concerns.

Luvvie Ajayi Jones' approach to difficult conversations is both empowering and thought-provoking. Before you speak, ask yourself these three questions: 1. Do you mean it? 2. Can you defend it? 3. Do you say it with love? These questions ensure that your words are not only intentional but also delivered with care and integrity. In a world where tough conversations are inevitable, this mindset can help us speak our truths while still fostering understanding and empathy. How we communicate matters just as much as what we say. 💪❤️ P.S. Repost this ♻️ if you find this approach as powerful as we do. #WomenEmpowerment #Leadership #Communication #Catalyst #WomenInTech #Inspiring

Such a key to success. Speak up. Others value your opinion. When it is time to align we align, but don’t just tell people, especially higher up than you, what you think they want to hear from you. Tell them the truth! You have experience, you have knowledge that’s why you got this position. Shine in it.
