Is talking out loud okay?

I was raised that in a group setting you should always raise your hand and wait until you are acknowleged before speaking.

This social norm no longer applies online.

You have lots of great insights to share, but I’ll never ask you about them unless you start talking.

You live between 3 timezones away from me and I only see you once a year. I can’t read your body language to see that you want to speak and give you permission, but I’ll read your feed everyday.

There are dozens of others who are willing to work together to refine your world changing ideas. Imagine what could happen if you connected.

You’ll understand yourself and your ideas better if start processing them out loud.

You have my permission, go for it, talk out loud. I’m listening.
