Whether you’re advocating for a charitable cause or pitching your latest product or service; whether you’re disciplining your child or trying to turn your mother-in-law toward your way of thinking or opinion; whether you’re asking for a raise or eliciting the co-operation of your co-workers, if you’re trying to persuade someone to do something, you’re selling. And your words are more powerful than you can imagine.
It’s safe to say that words have the potential to unleash the most overwhelmingly strong emotions in us. They cause us to fall in love, go to war and save the rain forest. They persuade, convince and move us to take unique and particular action.
According to the Global Language Monitor, the English language now contains over one million words.
