Words have the power to harm or to heal

Really Useful Conversations

In this week's Really Useful Conversations podcast, my own experiences over the Christmas break remind me of a very important part of conversations - the language that we choose and use and the way in which we deliver them. I often joke with people about "not what you do but the way that you do it" when it comes to excellent communication, but this is a really poignant reminder of the power of language. Often we may have conversations or interactions that we move on from, gone from our mind, but maybe not for the other person. Maybe the words we used cause more impact than we realised? Maybe our attitude, state of mind or mood caused us to speak in a way that we might come to regret? Tune in to this week's episode and the opportunity to ponder and reflect and recognise that words can both harm and heal - depending on those you choose to use.
