In this episode of Relentless & Real, we dig into how the words you choose, especially in small, everyday moments, shape accountability, trust, and influence. What started as a small moment in a meeting, “at my request,” opens up a larger conversation about how leaders communicate ownership, clarity, and accountability without ego.

We explore how intentional language builds confidence in teams, how misaligned communication creates unnecessary stress, and why strong leaders are thoughtful about not just what they say, but how and where they say it. From choosing the right communication channel, to setting expectations around responsiveness, to keeping cultural language alive beyond a document, this conversation reframes language as one of the most powerful tools a leader has.

We also talk about how leadership language does not stop at work, and why the people closest to you deserve the same reminder, care, and presence you bring to your professional life.

This episode invites you to listen more closely to your own words and consider how the language you use every day reflects the leader you are becoming.
