Policing Tone: You Can(‘t) Voice Your Thoughts

Sometimes we supress our thoughts and keep them inside rather than saying exactly what’s on our mind. In this episode, Heather Green explains how the words you say and how you say them can be done in a thoughtful way. We discuss:

• her previous response to other people policing her tone, 
• why we shouldn’t operate in absolutes when communicating with others, 
• Martin Luther King’s tone and influence, 
• mastery of tone vs policing of tone, 
• a useful example of how she sets boundaries, and 
• the importance of being clear on your thoughts before you share them.
