I always encourage my career clients to write to share their expertise and their point of view on important issues.

We discuss the very concern that you have raised in this story. Will some people be upset or offended by what I write? What if they don’t agree with me?

I tell them, “When you put yourself out there, it attracts the right people and it repels the wrong people.”

That’s what you want. You don’t want to work for someone who can’t respect your point of view. You want people to be drawn to you because they appreciate what you have to say.

It is worth it!
