Speaker: Kathleen Edelman
Length: 6 Parts

Words are powerful. They’ve created (and destroyed) confidence. They’ve started (and wrecked) relationships. They’ve landed (and lost) jobs. So before you open your mouth again, consider this . . .

Words are powerful. They’ve created (and destroyed) confidence. They’ve started (and wrecked) relationships. They’ve landed (and lost) jobs. So before you open your mouth again, consider this . . .

Part 2: “Strengths & Weaknesses”

Ask two people to describe the same thing and you’ll probably get very different details. That’s not by mistake; it’s by design.

Part 3: “The Words Your Temperament Needs”

The same words don’t sound the same to all of us. A comment like, “You should come!” feels flattering to some and stressful to others. Can you tell how your words will land before you say them? Actually, you can.

Part 4: “When Your Needs Aren’t Filled”

Like the dashboard light that lets you know your car is almost out of gas, your mouth comes equipped with a warning system. Learning to notice your warning system may prevent future conversations from becoming catastrophes.

Part 5: “Identifying Others”

From pep talks to apologies, thank-you notes to love letters, knowing the right words to use isn’t a secret if you consider who you’re talking to.

Part 6: “Putting It into Practice”

Your words will impact the quality, and even the direction, of the lives of those around you. How will you use that power for good?
