Todays episode is a little different. It is an argument I wrote for my university studies, therefore more academic, formal format than usual for me.
It felt great to have the research to back up what I have known for years and researched informally - language is powerful and the words we use make a difference to our well-being and leadership.
Below are references for todays episode.
