"Words are free. It's how you use them, that may cost you"

Words can steal Hope, Confidence and even Life at times OR Words can heal by giving hope, confidence and renewed life. As Leaders we have to mind our choice of words because this affects other people in different ways.

Words, Intent, and Impact

Intent + words = the power to steal and kill, or nurture and empower.

Choosing Words Wisely

Our responsibility is to give words that heal, help, and serve. In order to be leaders worth following we must understand how our words sound or land on the person we are conversing with.

Receiving Words Well

Equally important is the way you receive words.

If someone is for you and brings challenge to you, consider their words as possibly helping you by bringing wisdom or discernment rather than simple criticism.

So let’s bring the right words to our teams, our families, and even ourselves, knowing that words linger in the memory of those we encounter along our path in life.
