Important Questions to Ask When You Stay Silent

• Are you ready to discover important questions to help you use your voice?
• Do you stop yourself from speaking up at times?

This short article describes how you break this pattern easily.

Anon sure has this right! We can’t resolve our conflict if we don’t express ourselves. Coaching clients share that they fear retaliation or rejection if they voice their opinions. 

I ask Clients the Following Important Questions:

• “What do you want to say?”
• “What are you afraid will happen if you share your voice?”
• “What do you hope will happen if you speak up?”

It’s risky every time we open our mouths! Those who know me realize what my next few words will be! It’s worth the risk.

Two Important Questions for You to Ask Yourself:

1. “Do I matter?”
2. “Am I heard?”

These questions are two major parts of this communication equation. We find it easier to speak up once we tell ourselves that feeling heard is an important personal value.

We need to decide if resolving the conflict is worth the risk. Once clients weigh the pros and cons, the pros usually win.
