How much does your self talk impact the public-facing words you say and write? You might have heard that the average adult speaks and writes around 15,000 words each day. What gets less publicity, however, is the number of words we say to ourselves, consciously or subconsciously: around 60,000. This begs the question: why does four times the nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs get so overlooked in our exploration of communication?
Communicate for Good has always centered around the power of words to build confidence, expand influence, and amplify impact—the intersection of language, leadership, and life, and it’s certainly touched on self talk in the past. Now, following a three-year-hiatus, Erica is re-centering the conversation on the inner dialogue we so often overlook, despite how much it affects outer identity and interactions. She shares the traumatic experiences she has navigated since the show went on hiatus and shares how her own, ongoing education around self talk and inner narratives can help other leaders. Together, you’ll learn how elevating your self talk practices can help you navigate burnout, team-building, life-rebuilding, and leading publicly when your private life is in crisis, one word at a time.
