The words we use shape our every day, our environment, the people around us, and our world.
Are we using words and phrases in a way that creates the world we want to live in? Are we using language in a way that allows us to intentionally connect, include, and bring people together?
In this episode, with special guest Emily Nichols, we look at the topic of the many things we say (and phrases we take for granted), and how they can actually work to alienate and separate, rather than unite and include.
In this episode:
- Emily's story in creating a TedX Talk and what inspired it
- Why it might not be all it's cracked up to be to be "one of the guys"
- How to consider new ways to speak that brings people together for more collaboration and connection
- What to do if you're struggling to get on board with the ever-changing world of the English language
- How to overcome your fear of making a mistake around saying the right thing
- The difference between descriptivism and prescriptivism
- And more!
