” A truth is a useful, reliable statement of how the world is. You can dislike the truth, but pretending it isn’t true isn’t an effective way to accomplish your goals or to further our culture. Identity is the truth of description. Axiomatic truth is truth about the system. It’s still true.

Here’s the truth: images cut by hand with a rubylith weren’t better. A craftsperson would carefully cut the ruby, knowing that the parts it covered would reflect the light when the plate was created. It was difficult and painstaking work. That’s all obsolete now. They were simply the best available option.

I’m here to tell you – that’s far from the truth. Way too many consultants and coaches mistakenly believe that their website is nothing more than an online brochure or resume. You can turn your website into a client conversion machine , hard at work 24/7 attracting clients who are excited and ready to work with you.

It’s not that they don’t know the truth (they might, if they stopped to think about it.). It’s not that they want to know the truth, either. No, they fear the truth. Information is available if they looked for it. And being part of a mob is a good way to hide from that fear.

But, at the same time that the larger truth can’t be experienced, your anecdote can never represent the larger truth, because it’s yours. By relying on well-told stories, we ignore the real truth, the universal truth of how the world actually is. We experience a tiny slice of it. Yes, our mileage varies.

It turns out that the original researchers hadn't told the truth. On the other hand, we don't expect the truth in a poker game, in the negotiation of the price of a new car or even in the stump speech of a political candidate. It's an incredible privilege to have a role where you are expected to tell the truth.

I''m more interested in the sophistication required to deliver the truth. Safety from the unknown, from being questioned, from being called out as a fraud. These facades lead to bad writing, lousy communication and a refuge from the things we fear. Simplicity. These take fearlessness.

They try to sit down and write copy for their website or marketing or a simple blog post and they face writer's block so intense that it's a miracle that more computers of consultants and coaches aren't flung against the wall. Truth is - you don't serve everybody. Nor should you. And will gladly pay you.

  Truth is real, it's measurable and it happened. Truth is not in the eye of the beholder. We work to amplify our beliefs by willfully confusing ourselves about whether the truth is flexible. It makes belief a lot more compelling (but a lot less useful) if we start to confuse it with truth.

While writing blog posts or doing videos might be out of your comfort zone, it is also a way to express the ideas you have had for years.

Plenty of recruiters and those in HR like to talk about engaging in a war for talent, but to be truthful, most of it is about finding good enough people at an acceptable rate of pay. It''s more of a skirmish, actually. Filling slots. More relevant and urgent, though, is that it''s not really a search for talent. It''s a search for attitude.

This relentless reframing of the truth into something else causes us to not ask the right questions, it prevents us from understanding our options, and from making smart choices. As soon as we say the truth is relative, and shiftable, and a matter of opinion, we lose the power that comes from knowing.

That was the title of a blog from a Canadian Consultant friend, Charlene Norman. Clients searching for trusted advisors gravitate to truth tellers. The truth of the matter is: “Controversial gets you heard… Proof gets you hired.”. But more importantly it is a way for you to determine just how “into” a subject you are.

Taste is individual preference, not absolute truth. Taste varies. That’s why we don’t call it utility. In team settings, then, it’s much more helpful to say, “I prefer this over that,” instead of, “this is wrong.” ” Some things are wrong.
