I’d like to begin this episode by acknowledging the land that I am learning and living on is the traditional un-ceded, un-surrendered territory of the Anishnaabeg Algonquin People.
Words have power. And the words you use WILL have consequences. As emerging leaders it’s invaluable to understand the immediate impact you have on your team, and one of the most powerful aspects of your influence are the words you use. I’ll say it again, intended or not, your words WILL have IMMEDIATE impact.
In this episode, I’ll be talking with Teresa Lodato, a certified leadership coach and we’ll be discussing the concept of conscious leadership and how emerging leaders can use this idea to help frame their power words to embolden and strengthen the team dynamic during the hard and easy times. We’ll also talk about some specific power words that can have a detrimental effect on your team, it’s goals, and ultimately the efficient success of the group. Lastly, we’ll discuss what to do when your words don’t have the intended purpose.
