"I feel more confident and knowledgeable about the relationship I have with myself, I feel more confident and knowledgeable about relationships I have with others, I feel like I am able to assess situations with more clarity and maturity, I envision the world in a more positive manner, I am happier and accepting of myself and others, and I feel like I can do better what I love the most to do in the world – help others." - Christopher Stanford

Positive Words Cultivate Positive Action

Positive communication multiplies the connection we have with others. We have the ability to transform negative to positive... using our words, thoughts, and actions. And this transformation can positively change our world and our workplace.

Results of Using Positive Communication

When you have positive thoughts, use positive words, and demonstrate positive action you can help reduce conflict, improve communication, reduce defensiveness in others and come across as credible, respectable, and influencial.

Join me for this engaging and inspiring workshop to help you assess your communication tendencies, and learn ways to increase your influence and trust factor - and this helps you impact the world in new and unexpected ways.

"When we spoke about positive wording, I realized how big of an impact one word or phrase can make in a conversation. Since then, I’ve tried to really focus on speaking in a positive way, so instead of answering a “how’s it going?” with “not bad”, I’ve been saying “great!” or “pretty good.” I’ve actually found that it does make a difference, not just in terms of the interaction, but in terms of how I feel when I word my answer positively." - Yael Faitelis
