Episode notes
The Weight of Words
- Words carry weight and can have a lasting impact, both positive and negative.
- We must recognize the potential of our words to wound or undermine others.
Words and Weight
- Words are not weighted equally; negative words carry more weight than positive ones.
- Use proportion control, offering more positives to balance necessary negatives.
Source Determines Weight
- Remember that the source of words determines their weight and impact.
- The "who said" matters just as much as the "what said."
