👑 Authority April | Week 2 — Opinion vs. Explanation

🍀

Most people think more explanation equals more credibility. It doesn't. In the context of opinion and perspective, over-explaining signals uncertainty — that you don't quite trust what you're saying to hold its own weight.

🧠 Here's what's really happening underneath it: you're trying to make sure everyone in your audience feels included. You're being inclusive instead of being exclusive about who your work is actually for. And a message built for everyone lands with no one.

🎥 Post a short video inside the School, under two minutes: name an opinion you hold that you usually turn into an explanation and just state it. No lesson attached.

Examples:

💬 "I don't believe consistency is a time-management issue."

💬 "I think most people are avoiding discomfort, not lacking clarity."

Say it, let it stand. If you're willing, post publicly with #OutLoud and drop the link below with one sentence on what felt strong and one on where you felt the urge to explain.

See you in the comments!
