Moving people

Somewhere along the way, “professional” communication became dry, corporate, and utterly forgettable.

Businesses love the cautious wording. Overworked sentences. Industry-approved jargon.

The kind of words where no one leans in, no one remembers what you said, and no one feels anything.

Words that move people are very different. They are often simple, raw, and direct.

Something people recognize as real.
Something that sparks a thought they can’t shake.
Something that makes them see the world just a little differently.

Professional words aim to sound right.
Heartfelt words feel right.

If you want to find words that do that join us on Feb 11th for the 2nd edition of the free “Leaders Light the Path Session”.

Here’s what we’ll cover:
→ How to encourage people to challenge the status quo.
→ Why heartfelt words are underestimated in business.
→ Simple strategies to turn ambition into progress.

It’s a highly interactive session to help you find words that don’t just explain your ideas — but make them impossible to ignore.

Seats are limited to keep it small and interactive, but saving your spot is easy — just reply to this mail.

We’ll meet on Feb 11th at 11am Eastern / 5pm CET via Zoom.

Keep lighting the path!
