Timothy Evans’ Post

Words carry incredible weight in the world. Proverbs 18:21 states, ‘The tongue has the power of life and death,’ and it’s a truth that resonates deeply in our work environments. How we communicate—whether in meetings, emails, or casual conversations—can influence relationships, decisions, and even the trajectory of our careers. It’s not just about speaking wisely; it’s about being intentional with our words. In a space where collaboration and leadership thrive on trust and clarity, remembering the impact of what we say can be the difference between fostering growth or creating setbacks.

Communication is one of the most important skills when building relationships, both personally and professionally. It’s not just about speaking your mind but also about listening actively. Whether you’re engaging with a colleague, client, or loved one, remembering that communication is a two-way street is vital. Your words and actions have the power to uplift and inspire – use them wisely.

For so long, I have witnessed many—including myself—be prideful in our own insights and knowledge. Proverbs 12:15 reminds us that “The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to advice.” It’s a powerful reminder that true wisdom comes not from stubbornness but from humility and the willingness to learn from others.
