What of a word?

What of a word?

What of a word?

A word can shift, its meaning bending with context and mindset.

It fits into life?

practically,?

profoundly.


Authority

To have authority: management, a rubber stamp.

To be an authority: trust, influence, leadership!


Impress

To impress: chasing the proverbial Joneses.

To be impressive: living my way, honouring values of impact, integrity, self-reliance.


Interest

To be interesting: “Try hard” as my kid would say.

To be interested: curiosity about the world, the people I meet.


A single word,

A subtle shift -?

Its tone,?

its meaning,?

its feel.

How do these shifts in meaning show up in your life?

What words have made you pause and think lately?

Will you Join me for Coffee and Mental Health Advocacy? ????

I’m pledging money to Ottawa Salus to support their mission of providing housing and support services for adults with mental health challenges. Over the year, I'll be hosting 52 ‘coffee and conversation’ sessions where we can connect, share ideas, and make a difference.

For each coffee, I’ll donate $20 to Ottawa Salus and invite you to match it with a donation to your preferred charity. Let’s come together for meaningful discussions that empower our communities.

Interested??

Drop me an email or DM on LinkedIn to schedule a time to chat.?

Let’s make our coffees count! ????

When the God created the universe, he said the word "Be" and it became. The words can create, build, make us happy, sad, and it can kill. The difference between right and wrong, or good and bad, is a word. The word is a powerful weapon and tool. It is the difference between knowledge and ignorance, when you know what it means and learn its true essence. Let us use our words wisely and carefully.
