And one of the biggest energy shifters in any room? Your words. In this episode, Jonathan Dugger and I dive deep into the subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways your language can either lift your team up or completely flatten their momentum. We explored the difference between statements that spark collaboration and those that quietly shut it down. We unpacked how even well-meaning phrases can demotivate, and why your self-talk as a leader sets the tone for everything else. This one’s for the leaders who want to create a culture where people feel trusted, challenged, and seen—not micromanaged or silenced. 📝 Top 3 Takeaways from the Episode: Your Words Create Culture:  Every phrase you use, especially during challenges, either expands your team’s capacity or constricts it. Choose language that fosters trust and ownership. Self-Talk Is a Leadership Skill: If your internal dialogue is rooted in fear or pressure, it will leak into how you lead. Mindful self-talk leads to mindful leadership. Empowerment Starts with Intentional Word Choices: Simple shifts like “Let’s figure this out together” or “I trust you can handle this” turn uncertainty into opportunity and cultivate true collaboration. 🎧Podcast episodes related to this one that might interest you:  Episode 55: Want to Sound More Confident?
