Ep. 16 - On language and the words we use

Published: Dec. 13, 2019, 4 p.m.

b'Let\\u2019s become linguistic ninjas. \\n\\nAs diplomats, we know how important language is to our work. We put in a great deal of effort to phrase our communiqu\\xe9s, speeches, letters and other communications just so. \\n\\nIndeed, diplomacy is ruled by protocols and using the right words at the right time in the right way avoids misunderstandings. Our words and thoughts at work can be dominated by keeping all possibilities open, lest we miss an opportunity to advance our country\\u2019s interests. \\n\\nBut what happens when we adopt the same communication style within ourselves and with those around us? Let\\u2019s explore this and become more aware of the power of the words we think and use. \\n \\nLinks:\\n\\nWebsite: www.thelonelydiplomat.com \\nBlog post: \\u2018The Lonely Diplomat: on language\\u2019: https://bit.ly/2LwLXRh\\nMiguel Ruiz, \\u2018The Four Agreements\\u2019: www.miguelruiz.com/the-four-agreements \\nCoaching, seminars and other services: www.thelonelydiplomat.com/services\\nFriends of The Lonely Diplomat: www.thelonelydiplomat.com/friends \\nPlease, support my work: www.thelonelydiplomat.com/support \\nStay connected with me and my work: www.thelonelydiplomat.com/subscribe \\nContact me: admin@thelonelydiplomat.com'
