Episode 216: How the Words We Use Lift — or Limit — Us
In this episode, Bob ‘n Joyce explore how the words we think and speak shape the world we live in. Our language can either unlock new possibilities or quietly reinforce the status quo. And in a world that’s often dripping with negativity, it’s easy to get swept up and mirror the tone around us. The same dynamic plays out inside organizations: the prevailing language can propel a culture forward… or keep it stuck.
Key Takeaways:
• Choosing our words consciously — what we call activating language — can bring new possibilities into being that wouldn’t emerge on their own.
• The words we use about ourselves influence how we show up and how others experience us.
• Most of us toss out language without realizing its impact.
• The dominant language inside an organization is a direct signal of the health of its culture.
Join us as we unpack how language shapes personal and organizational wellbeing.
