Words have the power to shape our thoughts, emotions and even our physical responses. How we choose to use language directly impacts both ourselves and the people around us. Being intentional in the way we communicate also has a profound impact on how effective we are in our roles - and how much we enjoy them.

Explore how choosing your words more carefully can facilitate better outcomes for clients, less stressful interactions with colleagues, and improve your productivity and wellbeing. You will also learn strategies for putting this into practice in your daily work that can make a real impact.
