Hi, I'm Lii...
People ask why I work with marketing and communications professionals.
As a Linguistics student and PhD in English Literature, I can dogmatically say it’s because of the undeniable power of words.
Words are the crux of communication. The success of any field or industry can rest its laurels on its selection.
A respected MIT professor Patrick Winston once said, “Your success in life will be determined largely by your ability to speak, your ability to write, and the quality of your ideas, in that order.” Your ideas and passion are important to your work, yet communicating them to others makes you most effective. Knowing what and how to speak and write impacts other people’s perception of you. First impressions are vital!
It is your words that will capture people's attention and set it a notch above that of others.They have the power to inspire, comfort, quell and ridicule. Imagine a situation where you have just finished a presentation to an important client. You are quite happy with your own performance. But then a colleague comes and makes a comment that questions your ability to deliver. How does that make you feel? Or picture another situation where you just finished a meeting with a prospective client. You think you failed miserably. Yet, your manager sings your praises to you for a work well done.
You have surely experienced the effect of words.
Words are powerful!
