Overview
Whether you communicate orally or in writing, the way you express yourself dictates how your message is received. Even when you are conveying unpleasant news, you can soften the effect by using positive language. By choosing words intentionally, you can strengthen your relationships, expand your problem-solving skills, build your resilience, and express yourself with greater clarity and influence.

You’ll learn about the psychology behind how people process negative phrases, the literal and implied meanings of words, what your body language is saying, and other ways to communicate positively.
