Words matter. They shape trust, influence morale, and can either strengthen relationships or create division, depending on how they’re used. This presentation will focus on how tactfully choosing the right words can engage others, drive change, and build rapport. You’ll leave with tools and language you can use to begin transforming your organization today!
