Words that Work

It's always heartwarming to attend a workshop or seminar and have something you believe right or have even shared be validated and expanded on.  I recently attended a workshop by presenter Valerie Gross, the CEO of the Howard County Library in Maryland.  Her workshop title was Transforming our Image: no explanation needed.  It was all about using words whose intrinsic value and message convey exactly what we want conveyed.  The words we use matter.  I would highly recommend attending her workshop if you get the opportunity. 
The words we use can work for us or make use work harder.  I have said in the past that you have to "Speak the Language". The two messages combine for a powerful one-two punch. 
Speak the Language - and "Use the best words to say what you want to say" or "use the right words to convey the right message."   Working to do that alone will keep us busy for some time to come.
