Embracing Your True Self in Your Work

EMBRACING SELF: The Underlying Meaning of 'Whispering Loud'

By now you've heard of the phrase 'whispering loud'? It’s intriguing, isn’t it? At first glance, it seems contradictory, but if you dive deeper, it reveals a profound meaning. Whispering loud symbolizes the importance of your inner voice and how it can resonate with strength and vibrancy. In our professional lives, this concept encourages us to speak with confidence while maintaining a level of humility.

Your Foundation

Let's not forget the complimentary, 'from root to rise". Rooting yourself in authenticity is crucial for your growth and success. This journey from root to rise means establishing a solid foundation of your values and beliefs, undoubtedly in stable soil. When you are grounded in what you stand for, your whisper becomes increasingly louder—echoing who you are to the world. Remember, each time you share your thoughts or insights, no matter how softly, you contribute to a larger dialogue. This contribution can inspire others and drive change, often in ways you might not even see.

Why This Approach Matters

In our daily lives, especially in professional settings, we often feel pressured to make dramatic statements of unauthenticity or to be the loudest in the room. However, the idea of 'whispering loud' suggests that your impact lies more in the authenticity of your message than in its volume. When you focus on yourself and cultivate a sense of silence within, you create space for deeper thinking and reflection. This shift can trigger incredible changes, both personally and professionally.

Maya Angelou, a remarkable poet and inspirational figure, captured this sentiment beautifully in her video on focusing on oneself and embracing silence. She emphasizes that when we channel our energy inward, we often witness transformative changes in our lives. If you haven’t seen it already, I highly encourage you to watch her talk (30-minute treat) after reading this article or in your leisure time. It aligns perfectly with our theme today, illustrating how the quietest voices can make the most profound impacts. Transformation happens in silence.

In conclusion, 'whispering loud' is about embracing your true self and allowing that essence to shine through your work. As you navigate your career, remember to inspect the environment (soil) before you plant seeds, and find that balance between authenticity and confidence. Stay rooted, and watch as you rise, resonating with those around you like never before.
