14. How our language influences the way we connect with people

Today we talk about our language - whatever our nationality. The words we choose to use will determine how well we connect. Think about what we've been hearing in the media, from our political leaders, from within our communities, during the current global pandemic. Words like "lockdown", "self-isolation", "must wear", "mustn't do", and so on. How do they make you feel? What thoughts and emotions do they trigger? We discuss options, that we can choose our words, and equally choose what words mean to us, to others. Changing just one word can help us create even better connections. -------------------------- Brought to you by Empowering Leaders online, committed to celebrating, valuing and empowering leaders.
