There is so much power and influence in the words you use. I have always loved reading - still do, when I make the time for it - and I've had a common theme of communication throughout my working life, in different ways and so words and language is important to me. One thing I often hear as feedback from others is people saying things like "you're so good with words". In fact literally just minutes after I finished recording this episode about language I had a message from a friend asking me to help her with some words to handle a situation she was in! She said she remembered me saying something when we last spoke that she thought was really well said so wanted to use in an email. In short I care about words and the impact they have on yourself and others. Recently I have been playing around with a few alternatives to a common phrase we say to make it more empowering.... So this episode I share that phrase and some options of what you could say instead to make it feel more positive. Would love to know what you think and any other word games you play! Happy listening!
