Words do come easy

Parents, Teachers and leaders who are sensitively aware of their behavior and how it impacts the people around them uses words that are empowering, life changing, war stopping, words that are kind. Sadly, there are some whose words scrapes and slices the layers of our emotions, spirits, personality and self worth.

Here's some of those words:

So what?

If you can't accept it, then leave.

Thats a good idea, but heres how to better do it.

Your idea is good but heres a better one.

If you don't like it you may go.

You are not learning.

You give me nothing but headache.

This is not a workplace for babies so stop acting like one.

What part of what i just said you guys don't understand?

When will you ever learn?

Can you do anything right?

Now, theres more of these words and i'm sure you've heard of them. Certainly people don't feel valued and energized when they hear such words. As a leader, parent, teacher or manager it is your responsibility to create and change the kind of environment where you are into a better one.. You can turn one chaotic office into a place where people would love to work. You can turn one messy, house into a paradise, you can transform a noisy classroom to a very inspiring heart moving place with your words.

Heres more:

An employee in the hospital emergency room catching his breath - FIX him! ( your employee is not a machine)

My high school kid can do a better work than you people.( really?)

Our neighbors kid is far better than you. (go adopt him)

Lets begin transforming our home, our classroom our workplaces into our desired place and build relationships that transports people from a shaky, chaotic, stressful, brain cracking situation to a world of serene relaxation. Yes we can if we use kind words.

much cares,
