Show Notes

We all want to be heard. In some cases, there is confusion about whether a voice is the same as a vote.  It’s not necessarily so. Why allow the voice? That voice may have a different and valuable perspective. That voice may become a vote in the future and it’s wise to cultivate what can be gained by participation. That voice will not need to grumble underground in a negative way if it can be spoken out loud. Just as a voice is not a vote, it’s not a veto. If there is a temptation to shut down a voice because it seems it might have the influence of a veto, that’s an opportunity for reflection. Maybe anxiety over the voice – vote -- veto spectrum is a timely wake-up call.
