Ep. 16 - On language and the words we use The Lonely Diplomat

    • Government

Let’s become linguistic ninjas.

As diplomats, we know how important language is to our work. We put in a great deal of effort to phrase our communiqués, speeches, letters and other communications just so.

Indeed, diplomacy is ruled by protocols and using the right words at the right time in the right way avoids misunderstandings. Our words and thoughts at work can be dominated by keeping all possibilities open, lest we miss an opportunity to advance our country’s interests.

But what happens when we adopt the same communication style within ourselves and with those around us? Let’s explore this and become more aware of the power of the words we think and use.
