What language do you use?  Habitually?  Consciously or unconsciously?  “Our words create our worlds” – this simple phrase when spoken by David Cooperrider, had considerable impact on my noticing my vocabulary and intentionally changing it to be more positive and to create the space for possibility and growth.

Following are a few more quotes that I have reflected on and have impacted my words and my world:

• “The seeds of change are implicit in the first question we ask.  The more positive the questions, the more positive the potential for transformation.” Diana Whitney
•  " The power of questions and questioning is to open the door to new possibilities.”  David Cooperrider
•  “To change behaviour, change the conversation.”  Wim Croonen
•  “When I tell you my story, you give me colour.  I exist, I am in the moment.”  Eric Koenen
