The power that words have to influence and impact people. It is important for leaders to be aware of the way their words can affect others, both positively and negatively. Words can hurt, heal, motivate, or aggravate, and they have a big impact on our own emotions and energy.

The power of words is often underestimated. Words can have a huge impact on a person's emotions, and can even impact them physically. Therefore, it is important to be mindful of the words spoken to you, as well as the words you speak. 

This Episode is all about the Power of Words and How to use them effectively

In a world of conformity and noise, a daring leader must embrace her own unique gifts and find the courage to stand out, despite the fear of judgment and bullying. This episode of Soul Leadership is all about Authenticity. Through speaking to women, I learned that it can be hard to be true to oneself when there is so much noise in the world and fear of being judged. Leaders are meant to stand out, and when we embrace our unique gifts and talents, we can be successful and satisfied. Everyone is trying to fit in, but we can focus on the positives and find like-minded people to support us in becoming more comfortable in our own skin. As we do, we can share our opinions, be ourselves and reveal our true selves to the world.

HOT QUOTES

"Life is never completely satisfying while you're pretending to be less than or playing small than who you really are."

"You're not for everyone, but you're for so many someones."

"The world needs more of you."

In a recent conversation, Michelle told her husband that he gets what he's willing to put up with. She was referring to a situation at work where he was being challenged. She encouraged him to express how he felt to the person or people involved.

When someone doesn't treat you with the personal standards you uphold  or ignores this it can build frustration and anger. This can lead to negative consequences for those around you, even if they're not the direct cause of the problem. We all have our own personal standards, and it's up to us to decide what we're willing to put up with.

This episode is all about personal standards and expectations.  If you want to shift your standards, you have to shift your expectations.
