Description:

Our language is incredibly powerful.

The language we choose to use changes how others view us. It’s so powerful, in fact, that a single word can change human behaviour.

Positive language leaves a powerful impression and instills confidence. When we express ourselves in a negative way, listeners may misconstrue our message and not take you or your ideas seriously.

In today’s episode I am diving into language that immediately increases and decreases your credibility and how you are perceived.
