Improve Your Language, Empower Yourself

Description

Did you know that using “I am” statements and the “to be” verb form can restrict your sense of yourself, creating self-fulfilling prophecies? We are, after all, processes, not selves fixed in time. We can begin countering distortions of truth by speaking and writing words and sentences that more accurately reflect reality. Using active verbs can also help us to gain more control over our lives. This evening, your instructor —counselor, self-help author and an editor of Laurence Weinstein’s Grammar for a Full Life — can help you make small changes in your speech and writing that will increase your self empowerment..
