Positive Words Cultivate Positive Action

One of the most powerful ways to improve relationships is to simply be a more positive communicator. Positive communication is contagious and brings out the best in yourself and in those around you. When you use positive communication, people are more likely to listen to you, the conversation goes better, and the results can be transforming.

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

"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
