|The Power of Words
Words are sticky! Words link to images/stories/emotions/values. We have psychological filters that all touch-points come through. Words can change in meaning through these filters. We can feel energetic, in control and productive or we can feel discouraged and lose focus and have a bad day.
Words have that kind of power. Take these two lists as examples of how language can make you feel….
Example A
1. endure
2. dark times
3. crash
4. worse
5. paralyzed
6. risk
7. pandemic
8. pain
9. tragedy
10. challenging
11. empty
12. scary times, frightened
13. turbulent
14. uncertainty
15. anxiety
16. rampant
17. defeat
Example B
1. innovate
2. pivot
3. engaged
4. creative
5. playful
6. power
7. generous
8. wise
9. visionary
10. growth
11. focus
12. progress
13. confidence
14. expand
15. possibility
16. transform
17. strength
18. new energy
Feel the difference?
The words we use affect our own subconscious, and the message-out may not be the message-in as each human has their own story for their life, day and minute. Each word has an architecture of meaning and the power to lift someone up or push them down unintentionally.
Working from home makes life really-real for some, and choice of words from leaders more critical as those words and intention will be connected to a moment in time and will have a lasting impact!
Let's use our words well!
