Episode #167: The Journey To Our Potential Featuring Terre Short
“We spend a ridiculous amount of time unraveling our sense of self and so I call that your personal podcast. Every day, people are wearing their headphones and listening to their own narrative, their own personal podcast 24/7.”

"Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless." -Mother Teresa
What we say to others and how we say it—is one of our most powerful tools in building human potential.
Our language and the words we use can lift individuals to reach their highest peak or tear them down. It can help them build positive relationships or encourage discord and distrust. It can help shape how others think about themselves, the action steps they choose to take and, ultimately, where they end up in life.
Think back to your childhood and recall the voices of your teachers. What kinds of words did they use? What tone of voice? Recall how you felt around those teachers. Safe and motivated to learn? Or self-doubting, insecure, even angry
Its important that the words we use are kind, straightforward and direct because of the awesome audacious power they possess.
Think about the words you use when talking to or describing others and ask yourself, am I tearing down someone or helping them reach their potential?
“So here's the thing, I'm not going to be able to help you with your potential unless I understand my potential and the link between them are the words. The word choices, and I'm gonna uplift your potential when I choose my words.”
