Speaking Into The Ether

Like all tools, digital platforms have their limits. We've gone from having to travel to speak to audiences to now, in a world where we can be anywhere, being spoken to like it's a brand that we should be excited to be a part of.

We're taught to be on our best behavior to keep our job, advance our careers and help the brand -- but we don't always speak what's in our hearts.

The Changing Landscape of Customer Service

What's it like to speak at a conference? Well, it's great and it's terrifying at the same time. It's great because getting up in front of hundreds of people, who are all at a similar level to yourself is a great opportunity to learn from people who you can look up to and respect. It's terrifying because you're probably a bit nervous and you never know if people will be interested in what you want to talk about, or if you'll lead a workshop or a panel.

When we speak, we are often speaking into the ether. We might be speaking to ourselves, or to an imaginary audience, or to the air. But whatever the case, we are not usually speaking to anyone in particular. And yet, speaking into the ether can be a very powerful thing.

When we speak into the ether, we are putting our thoughts and feelings out there into the world. We are giving voice to our innermost thoughts and feelings. And in doing so, we are often able to gain clarity and insight into ourselves.

Speaking into the ether can also be a way of connecting with others. When we share our thoughts and feelings with the world, we are opening ourselves up to others. We are inviting them to enter into our inner world. And in doing so, we can create powerful connections with others.

The Future of Customer Experience is Voice.

There's something both exhilarating and disconcerting about speaking into the ether. On the one hand, it's liberating to be able to say whatever you want, without worrying about who might be listening or what they might think. On the other hand, it can be unsettling to think that your words might just disappear into the abyss, never to be heard again.

Either way, speaking into the ether can be a cathartic experience. It's a way to get your thoughts and feelings out there, without having to filter them through anyone else. And sometimes, that's exactly what you need.

Why You Should Be Taking Notes.

Speaking into the ether is like speaking into the void. It's like trying to communicate with something that isn't there. It's like trying to reach out to something that can't be reached. It's like trying to grasp at something that can't be grasped. It's futile and it's pointless. But sometimes, when we're feeling lost and alone, we need to do it. We need to speak into the ether, because it's the only way we can feel like we're not totally alone in the universe.

The Benefits of Getting Your Customer Service on Voice.

There's something about the act of speaking that feels like a release, like you're sending your thoughts out into the ether and giving them form. It's a way to connect with others and make your thoughts and feelings known.

In a world that can feel so chaotic and overwhelming, speaking your truth can be a way to anchor yourself and find some peace. It can be a way to make sense of the world, or to share your unique perspective with others.

And in a world that can feel so lonely, speaking can be a way to reach out and connect with others. Whether you're speaking to a friend, a stranger, or even just yourself, there's something powerful and healing about giving voice to your thoughts and feelings.

How to Get Started

There's something both exhilarating and slightly unsettling about speaking into the ether. On the one hand, it's freeing to say whatever you want without having to worry about being judged or misunderstood. On the other hand, it can be disorienting to know that your words are out there in the world without any context or frame of reference. It's like shouting into the void, hoping that someone, somewhere will hear you.

Still, there's something powerful about speaking your truth, no matter who or what is listening. It's a way of claiming your space in the world, of making your voice heard. And even if no one is listening, at least you know that you're saying what you need to say. So go ahead and speak into the ether. You never know who might be listening.

Conclusion

Before the internet, before cell phones, before tape recorders, and before radio, there was telephony. The telephone was a ubiquitous, important, and life-changing invention. It would be another hundred years before two Stanford students and a professor would use telephony to create a digital system for exchanging information. But before any of that would happen, people had to speak into the ether.
