"Fix The Weak Language That Holds You Back" with Julie Holunga of Chinook Executive Solutions (Denver, USA)

"It is very important to use that (strong) language. It's such a competitive arena out there. Why give anyone a reason to NOT buy what you are selling?"

GBD58. Julie Holunga is a leadership trainer, speaker and coach who works with CPAs, attorneys and other professional women. She tells Jennifer Gardner of AICPA & CIMA(Durham, USA) about the way we're perceived by others. They unpick how communication is not simply the way we speak but the way we 'show up', how we present ourselves at meetings and in our interactions with others.

 

WE DISCUSS:

• how what you say can influence your 'brand',
• identifying the weak words that undermine the way you're perceived by colleagues and clients,
• choosing leadership language that helps - not hinders - your career progression,
• and changing the words that you didn't realise could be holding you back.
