Permission to Speak

I recently took up writing; something that I didn’t do much in the past. I mostly painted and drew. I didn’t know how powerful writing can feel and most of all speaking.

I also never knew I also had permission to speak, have an opinion and lead a conversation. It wasn’t until a recent interview where I was asked to “lead the conversation” and “speak about your life” that I actually did, and when I did it felt amazing. I can’t believe it but I spoke up clearly and confidently. I spoke about my experience in design, my process and challenges. I talked about my values, what I believed in and asked for what I needed. I was so energized and pumped to hear my own voice and how aligned it was to my values and my heart.

So after that refreshing experience I’m going to speak up MUCH more often now because I want to be the only leader of my life and practice makes improvement! :D
