Walk The Talk…
Have you heard about this before…
What do you say?
Then how do others perceive you?
There is a need to check your actions and words.
I heard about this in my Toastmasters meetings, and I was curious to explore this idiom. After the meeting, I googled this term and got wonderful insights.
According to Oxford Reference, it is a piece of management Jargon that has become a Cliche. In simple words, it means putting your words into action.
In other words, it would be everyday phrase.
“Practice What You Preach.”
It means fulfilling your words and promises.
Don’t just talk.
Please do it.
“Walk the Talk” is important and should be practised because when you consistently walk the talk, others perceive you as reliable and trustworthy. It strengthens relationships in both personal and professional areas.
It enhances personal integrity, fosters self-respect and boosts confidence. It inspires others to set a good example. I have experienced in Toastmasters International that leaders who walk the talk often create a positive and motivated team environment.
