In this episode of PiXL Pearls, Sir John Rowling contemplates the disingenuous use of words such as ‘passionate’ and ‘excited’.

There's no doubt there is value in these words if you truly feel them and can communicate it to others. Sometimes, however, they can feel like the right thing to say even when it’s not altogether true.

Can you recall feeling cynical about someone else’s passion for a project? We often have a lack of self-awareness about what we say and the impact it has on others if we use empty words, but being aware of this can be crucial for our leadership to have impact.
