Powerful Words That Influencers & Leaders Use All The Time

One of my favorite workshops I like to present is "Communication With Clarity & Impact"....

Corporate clients love this workshop because leadership, communication and results shoot up from the very first module...

One of the modules is called "Using Engaging Language - Trap Words - Weak Words"...

Words are only 7% of our total communication and they are very powerful 7% if used in the right way...

Weak words are strangers to Influencers and leaders as they will only use empowering words to motivate and inspire those around them...

In our workshop a few days ago one of the managers mentioned a few week words that he avoids...

Words like:

- Maybe....
- Try...
- Do my best...
- If I can...

They are weak words and don't convey any definite commitment and leaves the listener wondering what is the possible outcome...

Influencers and leaders are very clear on what they want and this is reflected in their words...

When you speak with them they are very decisive...

- Yes, I will be there...
- No, I will not attend...
