Are you talking to me?
Did you want me to listen to what you say?
If you want me to listen, then say something worthwhile.
Do you want me to listen to every word or only the important words? How will I know the difference?
Will you deliver a clear message – the one that you intend to deliver?
Or might you obscure it with words that confuse, clutter and cloud your intended message?
How hard are you going to make me work to decipher your message?
Are you going to speak and then say, Well, you know what I mean?
No, I don’t. I only know what I believe I heard.
Did you consider that my perception of your message might be vastly different from your intended message?
Why might that be? Perhaps you peppered your speaking with filler words, trigger words or vague words.
Did you speak in code, slang or sloppy language?
We are judged by how our message is perceived. The core of our message is in the words we use. Those words can reinforce our message or choke it like weeds.
What are those Weed Words that you need to avoid? Listen to my posts so you can become aware of those weed words.
Imagine the difference when people listen to and appreciate all your words.
When you speak, deliver a clear and powerful message without the weed words.
