210: The Benefits and Consequences of Speaking the Truth with David Wood

"Our desires get unexpressed when we are not expressing it completely". - David Wood
What are the benefits and consequences of speaking the truth?
Truth is an essential part of your relationship, it is like the backbone of it, and without it, your bond can never get stronger. That's why speaking the truth in all aspects of your life strengthens the foundation of anything you do.
On average, a person lies about 11 times a day. That seems crazy to think! There is an advantage to not fitting into the average.
When you're building a business, for example, the truth can become an entrepreneur's advantage. It can improve productivity and performance, both collectively and individually. Even when it comes to health, honesty is key.
In today's podcast of Personal Development Without The Fluff, we are joined by David Wood. David is a former Consulting Actuary to Fortune 100 companies – including Sony Music, Chanel, and Exxon. He is the author of “Get Paid For Who You Are,” with a foreword by Jack Canfield. He was nominated to the exclusive Transformational Leadership Council alongside such thought leaders as Don Miguel Ruiz, John Gray, and Marianne Williamson.
David believes that the tough conversations we avoid, are our doorways to confidence, success, and love. They become defining moments that shape our world. He coaches high performing entrepreneurs, executives and teams – and now prison inmates – to create amazing results and deep connection. One tough conversation at a time.
David shares that lying can cause a high level of psychosomatic stress than can cause damage to our immune system. The best way of being is if you always meant what you say in a conversation, and which statement should be taken seriously.
Truth is your power; never give it away to another person at any cost. In a relationship, avoid bringing emotions and feelings in a conversation, as it’ll escalate the issue into something that you can’t handle.
Check out this episode to find out several psychological techniques and discover the ways of how truth is helpful for your body.

"Philosophy confronts the possibility of its own death, and in some sense has to do so if it is to remain the most fundamental kind of thinking". - David Wood
