Words matter.

For several years, I sent out a blog to readers a few times a week. These posts gave pointers about how to practice, shared relevant stories, and provided a way for people to connect with my coaching approach. In 2022, I wrote my book, Before You Say Anything, which brought many of these ideas together in one place. The blog posts have continued to resonate with clients and readers, and they're useful as a quick reminder, so I'm including them here!

People say terrible things to, and about, each other. It happens for lots of reasons.

 

But never fool yourself that the people in power who say terrible things about people who have less power don’t mean what they say.

 

They’re not joking.

 

The brutal, crude language is the point. It is a stand-in for brutal actions.

Winging it.
