Microlearning: How to Stop Playing Small by Using Strong, Powerful Language

Your words are powerful. Are these words promoting you or diminishing you in life? 

When you think back over your accomplishments in life: the job successes, the achievements, the triumphs, do you give yourself the credit you deserve? Or do you attribute it to luck, timing, or (fill in the blank) anyone but you? 

It's nice to be humble, but it's also important to recognize that you worked hard, had great ideas, and have the skills and talent to succeed. You worked hard to be where you are. Celebrate it. You're pretty awesome. You shouldn't be ashamed to talk about your accomplishments by diminishing your achievements using diminishing language.  

Instead, JoAnn Lauterbach things you should be using Strong Powerful Language.
