Conscious Communicator Power Word #2 – YES (100 words or less)

January 18, 2013by Skip Weisman in Champion Leadership Communication, Champion Leadership Tips, The Conscious Communicator tagged , , , , , , , , , , ,

Leaders know how to say YES with conviction. This is another power word we need to become comfortable saying with confidence.

Too many people offer non-committal subsititutes for YES. Phrase such as, “I’ll try,” “I hope to,” or “Okay.” This is loser language. Champion communicators say YES with conviction.

Being able to say YES in a strong, powerful manner is very attractive. It will allow you to influence those around you who are looking for someone with confidence, and nothing says confidence like YES.

    I am one of those who often use substitutes like “Will try”. Thanks Skip making me say Yes next time. Yes is assertive!
