Powerful Words - 5 Shifts to Harness Your Power Career Strategies for Women that Work

Words matter. It’s not only about how you talk to yourself, but what you say and how you engage with others. Words can shift our perspective. They can empower us or prohibit us. And in this week’s episode of Career Strategies for Women that Work, we’re going to discuss five powerful word shifts that will make a difference in your life. These have not only given me new opportunities, but they’ve also given me insight into how I talk to myself, what I align to, and where I want to take my energy next. I know they’ll hold the same power for you. 
I don't know about you, but it seems like things are really starting to pick up pace. There's more phone calls, there's more events. Just a few weeks ago, I drove down to the Eastern Kentucky Women's Leadership Conference. And it just happened to be the day after I held my first in-person retreat for professional women, looking to align more with their flow in Vermilion, Ohio. It was on an estate on Lake Erie, and it was just fantastic.
So, believe it or not, I was actually looking forward to the five hour drive down to Kentucky. It's funny because, as I go from event to event, I'm always nervous and I never know who I'm there to meet or who may cross my path. But one of the most exciting pieces of all my travels and especially my work with women's groups is how similar we are in our desire to have more influence and impact. Many of us are just looking for ways to do more of what we love, align to the things that matter to us, and spend time with loved ones.
There are five powerful words that I have shifted to over the last couple years that have helped me get closer to those things I desire.
5 powerful word shifts
I really had to work on listening to what I was saying and then shift how I was saying things—especially to myself. Once I started paying attention, I found five words that made a difference in so many aspects of my life. 

1. Have >> ____________________________
2. Should >>___________________________
3. Blame >> ___________________________
4. ______________________________________
5. ______________________________________

For many of us, really thinking about the words that we use with other people and with ourselves can shift not only the energy but the power you feel that you have in your life. Make sure you're choosing powerful words that empower you to make good decisions and live a life that aligns with who you are and where you want to throw your energy. Take a listen to get the full scope and more examples of how to make this power shift for yourself.
Shifting the words you use isn’t always easy, it takes attention and time. But I’m rooting you on! Connect with me on Instagram – @JJDigeronimo, and share some of the perspective shifts you’re making now.
