The Leadership Language Upgrade: 3 Common Words to Replace Today (Part 1)

You know those little words we throw around without thinking - “I’m trying,” “but,” “I’m just that kind of person” - and suddenly, they’re running the show?

It’s wild how fast language becomes identity. You say something enough times and eventually, it’s not just something you said… it’s who you think you are.

We started noticing how often that was happening. In our own stories. In how we lead. In how we talk to clients, friends, even ourselves. And once you see it, you won't be able to unsee it.

The words you choose are either reinforcing an old version of you… or opening the door to a new one. So we shifted the way we speak to create the version of us, and the reality we desired.

In this episode, we’re sharing 3 words that don’t belong in a leader’s vocabulary and what to say instead to empower yourself and others:

In This Episode

  • How words shape our reality - and what this means for you.
  • The #1 word to ban from your vocabulary to build confidence and connected relationships - and what to say instead.
  • The expression that keeps you in hustling mode without ever reaching your goals - and what Yoda has to do with it.
  • The two most powerful words in any language - and what to say after them to manifest the reality you desire.
  • When adjectives heal and when they prolong illness in the body.
  • Best practices to reframe your language that work for everyone.
