Preparation for Speaking Up

by Amy Carroll 2 Comments

Why does the best learning have to come from the worst failures?

Tune in today to hear why I hate this speak-up-journey and the lessons I’m learning because of all my mistakes. (I don’t really hate the journey. I just hate all the painful failures!) If you’re subscriber, go to the website to watch my short videos.

This week I talked about four steps to building emotional resilience to face the push-back that comes with speaking up. Listen to the video to hear more about these steps:

  1. Pre-deciding not to be offended.
  2. Reminding myself that God strengthens me.
  3. Infusing my responses with the fruits of the Spirit.
  4. Taking breaks for laughter and joy.

To join me where I often speak up, follow me on Facebook and be part of the conversation. I’d love to see you there. Note: I took a break for laughter and joy this week, and I’ve got a couple of shares in posts that made me belly laugh. Go check it out!

You can also request to join the private Facebook group that I referenced in the video “30 Days Toward Unity & Love.” It’s inactive with the comments turned off, but there’s a free download that will help you journal through it on your own.

I’m in the process of developing a more tender heart and a stronger voice. We're building a community of women here who are growing in the same direction. I promise that I won’t start telling you what to think. Instead, I’ll be digging into how to think about our culture’s issues based on Scripture.

Periodically, I’ll send exclusive content to subscribers, my friends who are learning with me.

    Amy,
    Thank you so much for these four steps. I loved your idea of printing out the fruits of the spirit and actually looking over the list before we respond. This is very good timing in my own life. Thank you! (I loved hearing you share this by video!)

      Leslie, thanks for being on this (sometimes painful) journey with me! You know all the failure is tough for a recovering perfectionist.
