Which Words Matter the Most?
|
 I came across a fascinating article about words we should use to make a greater impact. Check it out Did you know that you should speak in 30 second sound bytes? Anything longer than that is too long for the listener to remember. The listener will either tune you out or remember something in the message that may not be the most important element. Try it at work! If you can convey your message in 30 seconds, you will choose your words wisely and be more succinct! What about POWER words? Which should you add to your vocabulary? Read this How often do you hear the word, "AWESOME?" Thanks to TED talks, here's an entertaining look at its overuse.
