TruthSpeaks Definition:

An awareness and comprehension of what is presently being displayed. Putting forth attention.

Explanation:

Your manager just gave you instructions to complete a task, you respond okay got it and you walk back to your desk confused and lost. Have you ever been in this situation? I know I have. What did you do? Did you try and figure it out and “fake it until you make it” or did you swallow your pride and walk back to your manager’s desk and ask her for more information for a better understanding? The latter is the better solution. The "fake it until you make it” method only works for so long. It is helpful to gain full awareness and comprehension of what you are being asked to do so you can perform the task to the best of your ability. Put it this way, if you don’t understand the task, who are you hurting and what will be the result?

Weekly Action Plan:

How are you going to gain awareness and comprehension in your role this week?
