Topic: Speaking Your Truth, Even in the Workplace

Communication is communication. Similar problems exist for people in personal as well as professional relationships. Fear of being seen as a “whistle blower” or bucking the system or righting a wrong takes courage to see the truth, speak the truth and try to implement positive changes in the workplace or changing attitudes and beliefs within any profession. People fear change and it takes an honest and courageous individual to make a difference.
