You’ve probably heard the phrase “Say what you mean and mean what you say,” but what does it really mean? Is that good advice? And, more importantly, how do you track it? In this article, dive deep with us as we explore the meaning of a popular saying, why honest and sincere communication is so important, and how you can speak your mind more openly (and still be respectful).
“Say what you mean and mean what you say” means being honest and open about how you feel, even if it might offend someone. It also means not saying things that don’t accurately reflect your perspective.
