Carol Rausch—a healthcare professional, cancer researcher, and former patient with lymphoma—shares how her journey from researcher to patient transformed her understanding of medical language. She discusses the impact of word choice on patients, why certain battle and war metaphors can be harmful, and how language used in clinical settings differs from what resonates with those facing a diagnosis.

In 2011, I took a class on body language because I had begun speaking from stage and knew it would be helpful. Then, the company offered a class taught by one of their trainers, Amy Walker, on how body language can assist you in understanding your kids and avoiding conflict. I loved the class and gained much from it. Since I was working with families and children, I asked Amy if she would write an article on what she had taught the mothers and fathers in her class. She did. I love the information, which has proven useful. Today, I am resharing this amazingly eye-opening information. I know you will find value here. You will either say, “Wow, good for me. I already know that,” or “Gosh, I didn't realize that.” In either case, it will jumpstart your mind, and you will look at how you respond to your children with renewed or new eyes. Enjoy.

How many of us give our power away? How many of us look to other people for the solution? How many of us let other people decide our fate? In this week's episode, I invite you to reclaim your power and remember that words matter. What we say, how we say it, the language we use – it all matters, even when we feel it doesn't. (See: “ceasefire”)  When we speak, when we possess the power to tell our stories and write our narrative. The challenge here is: are you writing it in integrity? Are you writing it with the truth of the heart? Too many lies are being manufactured by mainstream media and if we allow for that to pass as truth, then we're in bigger trouble than I thought. Listen in to understand the power of words and the frequency they carry and how that affects us all.  =============== Today's poems/ Books mentioned: Oracle card: Eight of Swords “Scratching my Back” by Hafiz Articles mentioned: “Klamath River Dam Removal Allows Salmon to Run Free for First Time in More Than a Century” ⁠https://znetwork.org/znetarticle/klamath-river-dam-removal-allows-salmon-to-run-free-for-first-time-in-more-than-a-century/⁠ “The Shapes of Grief: Witnessing the Unbearable” by Cristina Sharpe ⁠https://yalereview.org/article/christina-sharpe-shapes-of-grief⁠ ===============  Courses / Exclusive Content / Book Mentioned: Subscribe to mailing list + community: ⁠suryagian.com/subscribe⁠ and get the 7-day meditation challenge, “Spark Joy in Chaos” Subscribe to “Adventures in Midlife” newsletter: ⁠leslieann.substack.com⁠ Instagram: @leslieannhobayan  Email: ⁠leslieann@suryagian.com⁠ Dig into Divine Darkness: https://www.suryagian.com/dig-into-divine-darkness

Language Matters.In real estate sales, language very much matters. Wording such as "Seller shall..." conveys a very different meaning that "Seller may..." etc. Oftentimes agents don't understand that when drafting an offer, drafting counter offers, or more, how this language could affect the sale down the road. In this episode John and Monica Young, Transaction Coordinator, talk in detail about the way language can affect any sale - in a good way or create a mess as well. An agent's main role is to protect their clients during the sale. Having an experienced agent matters when it comes to language as well.

Emphasizing the importance of dignity, respect, and equal opportunities, Elisa stressed the need for respecting differences while striving for inclusion, belonging, and equity. The discussion also highlighted the leadership challenges in promoting cultural inclusion and emotional intelligence within today's healthcare organizations. Elisa emphasized the need for leaders to unlearn outdated practices, acquire new skills, and champion a culture of continuous growth and development. As this conversation wrapped up Elisa talked about the importance of investing time in training and education on these issues.

Can changing just a few words really alter our entire perception of gender-based violence? In this compelling conversation with social scientist Erica Olson, we uncover the profound impact of language on how we understand and address this pervasive issue. We explore the encoding and decoding process of communication, highlighting the importance of precise word choice in shaping public opinion, policy, and the identities of those affected. We analyze the implications of terms like "victim" versus "survivor" and their influence on both societal attitudes and legal frameworks. Erica brings invaluable insight into why person-first language matters and how it can transform the way we support and advocate for people facing intimate partner violence.Our discussion takes a deep dive into the sinister world of intimate partner terrorism, where abusers manipulate language and gestures to exert control and instill fear. Erica shares poignant examples that reveal how these subtle forms of communication often fly under the radar, misunderstood by those outside the abusive relationship. We examine societal narratives that inadvertently shift focus away from perpetrators, emphasizing the urgent need to adopt active language that holds abusers accountable. By reframing our conversations around violence and sexual assault, we aim to foster better understanding and mobilize communities in the fight against gender-based violence. This episode is a must-listen for anyone committed to making a difference through the power of words.

Are you struggling with a lack of alert, curious, responsive, and resourceful people in your business? Here, Shannon Waller takes a look at the frequently overlooked importance of the language you use when talking about the people operating in your business. By shifting your mindset regarding this one term, you can unlock the full potential of your team and elevate their performance. Tune in to learn how to transform your team into a powerhouse of unique individuals making impactful contributions together. Download Episode Transcript Show Notes: The language you use to refer to the people you've hired to work with you (“staff,” “employees,” or “team members”) reflects different mindsets and can impact engagement and performance. The term “staff” suggests bureaucracy, formality, and viewing people as fulfilling roles rather than as unique and creative individuals. “Employee” is more neutral but can still imply a transactional, replaceable view of team members. Referring to people as “team members” emphasizes their unique contributions and the collaborative, team-based nature of the work. How you think about your people is reflected in your actions. “Staff” and “employees” are frequently counted as FTEs and costs. Businesses think of costs as something to minimize, to make as efficient as possible, and to be cut as necessary to improve profits. People who are treated as costs—like the office paper supply—can feel they're being treated as things and not as people. Treating team members as investments rather than costs leads to better results. With investments, you put a little in to get a lot more in return. When you nourish unique capabilities in people, their contributions expand in ways you could not have predicted. When people don't work out as investments: Have you made sure you've found the right people who are motivated by their work and aligned with your business? Do they have the capacity for their role? Keeping bad investments is not good for your business in the long term. You may need to subtract so you can multiply. Dan Sullivan says, “I'm just a team member here. I just have a unique set of skills, and that's what I want to do. I need a ton of other people to make the projects that I want to be a part of happen.” Dan's commitment to his own Unique Ability® contribution to the business reinforces his commitment to supporting the Unique Ability contributions of everyone else on his team. Ask your team how they feel about the language used to describe them. Pay attention to how you refer to people no matter whom you're speaking with. People want to know they're valued as individuals and trusted to find opportunities to contribute the best way they know how.

CORE Learning's Maya Goodall leads a conversation with Dr. Lillian Ardell, founder of Language Matters, as they discuss the power of the metalanguage mindset for teachers in language-diverse classrooms and how small changes in how we talk and listen can make a big difference.In this first session of CORE Learning's Structured Literacy and Language Diversity Week: Spring '24 Series, learn how a metalanguage mindset can help you:Connect Deeply with Students: Learn how to consciously use language that positively frames linguistic diversity as an asset.Identify and Reduce Biases: Spot and mitigate unconscious linguistic biases to create a more fair and welcoming classroom.Implement Inclusive Teaching Practices: Ensure every student receives the instruction they need and deserve.This edWeb podcast  is of interest to PreK-12 teachers, school leaders, and district leaders. CORE LearningTransform teaching and learning so that every student thrives.Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Language matters when discussing autism, and it is important to use inclusive and empowering language that recognizes the abilities and strengths of autistic individuals. In this episode, Simon and Jordan are joined by Dr. Luke Beardon, Author and Senior Lecturer in Autism at The Autism Centre, Sheffield Hallam University. Dr Luke talks about the majority of students in his courses studying autism being autistic, the negative narratives and misinformation surrounding autism, the us vs them narrative, gaslighting and professional misinformation, the identity crisis faced by late-diagnosed individuals, and the criticism of high-functioning individuals on the autism spectrum.Takeaways:Autism research should start from understanding the positive aspects, rather than focusing solely on the negative stereotypes and challenges.Autistic individuals experience the world differently, particularly in terms of sensory sensitivities, and it is crucial to understand and accommodate these differences.The environment plays a significant role in the experiences and outcomes of autistic individuals, and efforts should be made to create inclusive and supportive environments.Understanding and respecting the diverse experiences and perspectives of autistic individuals is essential for accurate representation and effective advocacy. Mental health is an important aspect of overall well-being and should be understood and prioritized.Language matters when discussing autism, and it is important to use inclusive and empowering language that recognizes the abilities and strengths of autistic individuals.A harmonious coexistence between neurodivergent and neurotypical individuals is essential for a more inclusive society.00:00 Introduction04:27 Popularity of the Course07:19 Negative Narrative and Pejorative Language09:38 Harmonious Coexistence of Neurodivergent and Neurotypical13:25 Validation and Defense of the Autistic Community15:22 Microaggressions and Gaslighting20:08 Invalidation and Identity Crisis22:04 Importance of Advocacy and Listening23:50 Misconceptions about Eye Contact25:13 Language Matters and Individuality31:49 Critics and Individual Experiences36:01 Blaming Autism for Everything37:01 Invalidating Difficulties38:28 Autism + Environment = Outcome42:47 Trust and Communication51:20 The Power of Language56:06 Exploring Energy and EnvironmentDr Luke Beardon,Senior Lecturer in Autism, The Autism Centre, Sheffield Hallam University:PgCert Autism Part-time 2024 - Sheffield Hallam University: https://www.shu.ac.uk/courses/teaching-and-education/pgcert-autism/part-timeWebsite: https://www.shu.ac.uk/about-us/our-people/staff-profiles/luke-beardonBooks: https://www.amazon.co.uk/stores/Dr-Luke-Beardon/author/B072HC7SHSWhether you're Neurodivergent yourself, a friend, family member, or simply curious about this extraordinary way of experiencing the world, this podcast is your guide to unravelling The Neurodivergent Experience.Instagram: @theneurodivergentexperiencepodFacebook: theneurodivergentexperience Hosted on Acast.

At IKEA, choosing the right words when communicating with the workforce is everything. Guy Britt, IKEA's Global Head of Co-worker Comms, tells Katie Macaulay the use of ‘co-worker comms' instead of internal or employee comms is very deliberate. “It's based on the fact that those we're communicating to are people,” he says. The team at IKEA want to activate their colleagues; inspire them, and create a two-way dialogue. The language they use matters. The tone, and respect they have for their colleagues is what really engages them. Communicating in this human way to a large, global workforce like IKEA has its challenges. Getting the right message to the right people, on the right platforms – it's not one size fits all. So, how does IKEA reach and engage their unique audiences? Tune in to find out.

Norman Solomon says that if Hamas is a terrorist organization, then, “the same description fits the Israeli government.” Why is language so important when discussing this war?

In this episode we are joined by Kate Boot - a late discovered AuDHD Speech and Language Therapist, Sensory Integration Practitioner and Relationships and Sex Education Practitioner. Since qualifying, it's fair to say that Kate has found herself on an authentic and original journey which has seen her lean into what she now understands, post discovery to be her autistic and ADHD strengths and identity. Kate talks openly and vulnerably in this episode about her own experiences, and of how she has experimented with language, expanded her language, and crucially acquired new language on her own late discovery journey - which has not only helped her to make sense of her own autistic experience, but has also professionally helped to build that safety and advocacy for others too.

Dr. Lillian Ardell, founder of Language Matters, is a biliteracy advocate, coach & staff developer. At her core, she is an applied linguist with a passion for teaching and learning. She speaks with us about the work she does to disturb monolingual bias, help educators flex into the bilingual advantage, and the need to experience small brave moments.

In this episode, we're joined by Dr Hazel Keedle.  Hazel is a Senior Lecturer of Midwifery at The School of Nursing and Midwifery at Western Sydney University. Hazel has worked in nursing and midwifery for over two decades. Her interests in research focus on vaginal birth after caesarean (VBAC), birth trauma, and women's maternity experiences explored primarily using feminist mixed methodologies. She is now a lead researcher in the biggest study on experiences in maternity care in Australia - The Birth Experiences Study. Hazel starts by sharing her own personal journey to a VBAC. I'd love to provide a content warning as Hazel discusses the obstetric violence and lack of consent taken from healthcare providers in her first birth. She talks about how her birth inspired her research in her PHD, in which she explored women's experiences of accessing VBAC in Australia. She has recently written her excellent book, Birth After Caesarean: Your Journey to a Better Birth, which I highly recommend for anyone on their own VBAC journey.  We then delve into topics around choosing the best, most supportive birth team for you on your VBAC journey, myths that exist around home birth, and why the language that is used around VBAC is so important.  Hazel discusses the following questions: Who's the best care provider to choose based on evidence with VBAC rates? What role does a supportive birth team play in planning a VBAC, and how can individuals find healthcare providers who are experienced and supportive of VBAC? Can you share some evidence around VBACs in hospital vs at home? What are the fears and myths around home birth and how can we dispel these? How can the language we use when discussing VBAC impact a person's perception of their experience? What alternative terms or approaches can we use to move away from the "success/failure" mindset and provide more supportive language for individuals pursuing VBAC?

Then, they go deep on the misuse of the phrase “DEI,” and how “DEI training” gets used interchangeably with “implicit bias training” [23:41] and why the word “feedback” has become so scary. [36:31] All that, plus cash bail ends in Illinois, and global data on why you should keep your DEI person [58:07].

We Do Recover with Jared Miller - EP 129 - Language Matters with Tiffany Naccarato & Kayla Jensen

Language, our vocal pitches and accents are the ultimate marker of identity. The words we speak and how we say them affect how people perceive us and even our ability to build authority.   As parents, there are facets of our kids' vocabulary that we might not get, like why they say ‘sus' and ‘fire', but these words actually reveal a lot about history, culture and identity.   How does language evolve over time? What linguistic features are unique to women, and how can we use them to our advantage?   In this episode, I'm joined by professor of linguistics and author of LIKE, LITERALLY, DUDE, Valerie Fridland.   We have a fascinating conversation about interesting things about speech, language and how we communicate.   What we find in language is the unexpected, the novel is always more powerful than the same old, same old, and that is one of the main drivers of change. -Valerie Fridland   3 Things You'll Learn in This Episode   - It's not bad English, it's the evolution of English  As parents, we might think our kids using words like ‘sus' and ‘fire' are decaying the language, but are these truncations completely normal?    - How to be heard the way you want  Women have developed strategies to be polite and still get themselves heard. How do we take advantage of beliefs people have about vocal pitch?    - Vocal fry and “Valley Girl accents”  Are some of the things that are seen as annoying and negative actually a way for women to have more authority?    Guest Bio   Valerie Fridland is a professor of linguistics in the English Department at the University of Nevada, Reno. She writes a popular language blog on Psychology Today called Language in the Wild, and is also a professor for The Great Courses series. She is the author of LIKE, LITERALLY, DUDE: Arguing for the Good in Bad English. In it, she delivers a lively exploration of the speech habits we love to hate—and why our “likes”s and “literally”s actually make us better communicators.

The transition into motherhood often feels disorienting and destabilizing - and when we don't have the language to adequately communicate our experiences, it can feel isolating and like there is something wrong. So in this episode, we are putting a name to the experience: Matrescence. I am joined by motherhood therapist & matrescence coach Chelsea Robinson, LCSW, for a conversation on the experience of becoming a mother, the continual transformation that comes with that role, and how an understanding of matresence can expand our views of motherhood for all. In this episode, Chelsea and I talk about: What matrescence is, as both the transition into motherhood and the entire motherhood experienceWhy having adequate language to describe our experiences makes a differenceThe societal, cultural, & generational factors that impact momsHow far we've come in increasing support for moms, and how far we still have to goThe importance of community & connection in motherhoodHow spending time alone can help us embrace our motherhood experiencesA little about our guest:Chelsea Robinson, LCSW, is a motherhood therapist, matrescence coach, village builder and founder of Mama's Modern Village. With over 10 years of experience in the field of mental health, she supports women on their motherhood journey at the intersection of modern motherhood culture and a woman's matrescence, her transition from woman to mother. Chelsea is not a parenting expert, rather an expert on the mama, whose work centers on bringing the mother back into focus. Chelsea has created "Becoming Mama", a 12-week program designed to support women all along their motherhood journey in decreasing their burnout, stress and overwhelm, while increasing their confidence, joy and understanding of their matrescence. She is bringing her work into the professional sphere this year when she launches her Becoming Mama professional training. You can find her as a Motherly expert and contributing to international publications like the UK's #1 woman's health magazine.To connect with Chelsea, follow her on Instagram @mamasmodernvillage or visit her website www.mamasmodernvillage.com.

In any negotiation or conversation, language matters. Our choice of words has the power to either create a collaborative environment or an antagonistic one, and we can better inform the outcome when we practice beforehand.    Our mindset flavors the conversations we'll have, and before the negotiation, we can try on different words for size to see what works best.    How do we start this practice internally and then in lower stakes negotiations? In this episode, I talk about the power of selecting and practicing your mindset before the negotiation.   Three Things You'll Learn In This Episode    - How to eliminate negativity from the conversation  What words would create an antagonistic, tug-of-war negotiation?    - How to encourage shared success  What language can we use to create an intersectional alignment of goals?    - Why buzzwords might not work in our favor  Can coming up with a set script actually work against the conversational environment we're trying to create?  

We must be willing to grapple with reality. There's never a time to refrain out of fear from doing what you know is right. SHOW NOTES --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/heidistjohn/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/heidistjohn/support

It's safe to say we've all learned something in our lives (or at least I hope so), but how often do we actually sit and think about the skill of learning, and how to... learn how to learn? Today's guest, David Rosales, is not only one of my best friends, but is truly the embodiment of a lifelong, enthusiastic learner. In today's episode we talk about David's passion for learning, particularly his passion for learning languages, and how he's harnessed the power of "activation energy" to overcome the initial intertia in any new skill, how to lower activation energy to make learning easier, how to apply these concepts to skills like fitness, and overcoming the hurdles involved in any new endeavor so you can get to mastery faster. We also do a deep dive on why language and the nuance of language matters as a way to preserve culture and enhance thinking, talk about practical climate change solutions anyone can participate in, and David's original concept of Defensive Propaganda as a tool to better understand and stand up for what we believe in. It's all over the map, and a beautiful map at that.
