Make Your Words Matter

Words matter in our lives.  What is said to us and about us will shape us.  From the nurturing words of a mother to a son, the encouragement of a coach to an athlete or acceptance letter from a company to a new hire...as people we care about what is said to us.

In our home we have a phrase we remind each other of often;

WHAT YOU SAY, is as important as HOW YOU SAY IT.

Words, tone, body language, eye contact, emphasized moments and so much more give us layers of communication.  Investing yourself in a person's life, in their conversations & being fully present when you are with them allows healthy relationships to be built.  

As a leader today in your organization what can you say & what can you send that empowers and affirms leaders around you?
