Instead of, \u201c I\u2019m sorry but\u2026 \u201d try, \u201c I\u2019m sorry for\u2026 \u201d
\nRather than asking, \u201c Why? \u201d replace the question with, \u201c Tell me more about\u2026 \u201d
\nAnd what if we changed, \u201c Boys will be boys \u201d to \u201c Boys will be held accountable \u201d?<\/p>\n
Irrelevant semantics? Tedious euphemisms? The science says no.
\nWords matter. Words are powerful. They shape and create our perceptions.<\/p>\n
Today, our lives seem beset by conflict and discourse.
\nAs individuals, we feel powerless in effecting any real change.
\nBut what if the redirection isn\u2019t necessarily top-down?
\nWhat if we could be part of the solution?
\nOr even participants in co-creating it?<\/p>\n
Recognised, respected behaviour studies, conducted by some of the world\u2019s leading experts,
\nhave shown how the words we use can directly influence our behaviour.
\nspeak Green rolls out daily micro-interventions, focusing on our language,
\nencouraging us to regenerate, expand and evolve our vocabulary.<\/p>\n
Whether you\u2019re a language professional, a politician, a teacher or just a parent hoping to build stronger foundations for your children, Dr. Claudia Gross gives us a holistic, practical structure on which we can build.<\/p>\n
Highlighting pluralism and gender positivity over polarisation, and igniting personal and communal growth,
\nspeak Green inspires us to find and amplify the good in the world, and to make conflict resolution a positive sum game.<\/p>\n
