There is power in language and far too often tentative language patterns compromise how women communicate and are perceived by others. This session highlights the power of “positive language” and offers 15 ways to ‘up one’s language-game’ to increase impact and confidence. Words such as “just,” “does this make sense?” and excessive apologizing can diminish one’s effectiveness in the workplace. I'll share strategies for identifying speech patterns worth changing, along with tips for success.
