About The Word Effect
Better leadership starts with better conversations.
The words we use influence how people experience us.
The questions we ask determine what we're able to discover.
The stories we tell ourselves shape how we show up.
And the conversations we're willing to have can change what happens next.
On The Word Effect, Becky sits down with leaders, authors, experts, and changemakers to explore the ideas, experiences, and language shaping how we lead and live.
Some conversations will challenge the way you think. Some will give you something practical to try. Some may simply give you the words you've been looking for.
Because every conversation has the power to shape what happens next.
