Are You Killing People With Your Words?

Today’s post is written by guest blogger Janis Pullen, an Executive Mastery Coach. Janis gives us insight into how the words we speak are received by others. Enjoy!

I attended a talk recently given by D. F. “Duffy” Swan, Chairman of French Funerals in Albuquerque, NM.  He began his talk with this remark:  “Every time you open your mouth, your mind comes out and parades around.”  His talk drove home that in any our conversations we are speaking spirits; we will speak either words of life or words of death, and we may not even know it.

Being an ontological coach, this message sparked my interest and delight!  Distinguishing the impact of our words on others is a superior, insightful, responsible behavior.  So I asked and received permission to share his message with my world.  I trust that you will enjoy and practice giving life and not death with your words.

Rebuilding Your Life Before, During and After

Today’s post is written by guest blogger Janis Pullen, an Executive Mastery Coach. Janis gives us powerful reasons to take responsibility in rebuilding our life. Enjoy! 

Have you endured a life crisis, or are you in the midst of one?  Perhaps you have endured a serious illness.  Perhaps you have suffered a relationship change.  Perhaps you have experienced a devastating career transition.  Any number of traumas in our life can temporarily take the wind out of our sails, knock us on our backs for a time, or flatten us permanently.  

There are two ways to handle any crisis and to rebuild your life before, during and after.
