THE LANGUAGE OF POWER, THE POWER OF LANGUAGE
"…I had often hesitated to make a point during meetings for fear that it, and I, would be dismissed as stupid, only to have some man make the same point - and be considered clever. "Speak up!"…"Interrupt!""
Madeleine Albright, Madam Secretary
I recently heard a keynote speaker tell a story in which her mother encouraged her to go to law school to learn "the language of power". If you want to be able to use the language of power in business, you won't learn it in law school. What is the language of power in business? It's the language of outcomes!...and it's a language that many women don't know or aren't comfortable with.
Even if we know the language of power in business, we frequently undermine our messages because we don't understand the power of language.
In this mind-shifting workshop you'll learn how to use the language of power to talk strategically with peers, colleagues and senior leaders...and you'll learn how to use the power of language to enhance your leadership presence.
You will:
-
Translate: learn to talk about your projects and initiatives in the context of key organizational outcomes.
-
Transform: your speaking style from powered-down to powerful.
- Practice: take an upcoming situation and lay the groundwork for a more powerful interaction.
If it's time for you to employ the language of power and the power of language, join Leading Women Founder, Susan Colantuono for this essential workshop.
